Bovipain-2, the falcipain-2 ortholog, is expressed in intraerythrocytic stages of the tick-transmitted hemoparasite Babesia bovis [PDF]

, 2010
Background Cysteine proteases have been shown to be highly relevant for Apicomplexan parasites. In the case of Babesia bovis, a tick-transmitted hemoparasite of cattle, inhibitors of these enzymes were shown to hamper intraerythrocytic replication of the

Genetic diversity within Theileria orientalis parasites detected in Sri Lankan cattle

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2013
In the present study, we investigated the genetic diversity of Theileria orientalis parasites circulating among Sri Lankan cattle. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the major piroplasm surface protein (MPSP) gene fragments amplified from T. orientalis-positive DNA samples (from bovine blood) revealed the presence of 4 parasite genotypes.

Multiple Introductions of the Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) to the United States Revealed Using Mitogenomics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, is a significant global vector and threat to both agriculture and public health. Formerly known only in the Eastern Hemisphere, parthenogenetic ALT have been reported from 20 states across the eastern and central US, with a pattern of expansion suggestive of multiple distinct populations.

First Molecular Typing of Tick‐Derived Coxiella burnetii From Wildlife in South Korea: Surveillance and Genetic Characterization

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Q fever, caused by Coxiella burnetii, is a widespread zoonosis characterized by environmental persistence and a broad host range. Wildlife and their associated ticks are increasingly recognized as crucial elements in the ecology of this pathogen; however, molecular data from these reservoirs in South Korea remain scarce.

Comparative analysis of the nutritional, physicochemical, and bioactive characteristics of Artemisia abyssinica and Artemisia arborescens for the evaluation of their potential as ingredients in functional foods

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 10, Page 8255-8279, October 2024.
The study found that Artemisia abyssinica has superior nutritional and functional qualities than Artemisia arborescens, including more fat, fiber, carbohydrate content, and energy. Artemisia abyssinica also has high water and oil absorption capacity, amino acid content, and amounts of sodium, calcium, organic acids, and vitamins. Despite A. arborescens'
