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.

Evaluation of Theileria equi vertical transmission rate and routes in a cohort of asymptomatic mares and their foals

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Equine piroplasmosis is a tick-borne disease mainly caused by Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. The objectives of this study were to analyse the frequency and routes of vertical transmission of these blood parasites from 179 asymptomatic mares to their

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

An assessment of equine veterinarian knowledge and perceptions of ticks and tick‐borne diseases in the United States to inform continuing education needs

Equine Veterinary Education, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 527-535, October 2024.
Summary Background Ticks can harm horses and transmit diseases, making them a growing concern for owners and veterinarians. Veterinarians play a crucial role in providing advice on tick prevention and control. Yet, no research has examined their perspectives on equine ticks and tick‐borne disease (TBD).

Immunological response of experimental vaccines against Theileria equi and Streptococcus equi subspecies equi in horses

, 2021
Equine theileriosis is a disease caused by the hemoprotozoan Theileria equi (T. equi), while strangles is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi), both diseases of clinical importance in equine farms.

Molecular Detection of Theileria ovis and Theleiria equi in Livestock from Palestine [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
AbstractTheileria and Babesia are intracellular protozoan parasites infecting a wide range of animals. In Palestine, there is limited information on the prevalence of Theileria and Babesia spp. in livestock. We used PCR of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene followed by DNA sequencing to detect and identify parasite DNA in blood samples from sheep (n = 49 ...

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.

Absolute quantification of the host-to-parasite DNA ratio in Theileria parva-infected lymphocyte cell lines [PDF]

, 2016
Theileria parva is a tick-transmitted intracellular apicomplexan pathogen of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa that causes East Coast fever (ECF). ECF is an acute fatal disease that kills over one million cattle annually, imposing a tremendous burden on ...

Newly designed PCR assays based on the ema-10 and ema-11 genes confirm the circulation of Theileria haneyi in horses in Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária
Equine Piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease caused by the protozoan parasites Babesia caballi, Theileria equi, and Theileria haneyi, characterized by intravascular hemolysis and associated systemic illness. Although T. equi and B. caballi have been
