Diversity of Ticks in the Caribbean Region and Detection of Their Pathogens Using BioMark Technology
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Introduction Ticks and the pathogens they transmit are widespread in Caribbean animal populations. There is; however, limited information on the diversity of ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TTBPs) in the region. This study aims to identify TTBPs across multiple Caribbean countries using a high‐throughput real‐time microfluidic PCR system.

Fatal acute clinical babesiosis in an adult gelding pony living in an endemic area
Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 36, Issue 11, Page e280-e287, November 2024.Summary Equine piroplasmosis is a haemoprotozoal disease caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. Clinical presentations vary in severity according to infectious load, host immunity and endemicity. In endemic regions, equine piroplasmosis is rarely acute or peracute in presentation. Here we report a case of a 10‐year‐old pony gelding presented for

A Suite of Pathogens Detected in Ticks Sampled From Wildlife Hosts in Central Kenya
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, September 2024.ABSTRACT Opportunistic sampling of ticks from animals during veterinary treatment offers important insights about wildlife exposure to pathogens. Here, we report pathogens and other tick‐borne organisms detected in ticks sampled from 10 animal species in and near Laikipia County, Kenya, in 2014–2016.

Genome evolution in intracellular parasites: Microsporidia and Apicomplexa
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 71, Issue 5, September/October 2024.Abstract Microsporidia and Apicomplexa are eukaryotic, single‐celled, intracellular parasites with huge public health and economic importance. Typically, these parasites are studied separately, emphasizing their uniqueness and diversity. In this review, we explore the huge amount of genomic data that has recently become available for the two groups. We

The use of serum paraoxonase‐1 to assess inflammation in horses with colitis
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 358-368, September 2024.Abstract Background Paraoxonase‐1 (PON‐1) has been suggested as a marker of inflammation and oxidative stress in horses and could potentially be used for prognostication in horses with colitis. Objectives Assessment of PON‐1 in horses with colitis and comparison of two methods. Methods Serum PON‐1 was measured by two methods (paraoxon and p‐nitrophenyl

Clinical investigation on Theileria equi and Babesia caballi infections in Italian donkeys [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2015 Interest in the welfare and diseases of donkeys is constantly increasing in several countries. Despite this, clinical research into donkeys needs to be in continual development since they show different reactions compared to horses in many conditions, including infectious diseases, and need specific clinical and therapeutic approaches.
