Characterisation of tabanid flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) in South Africa and Zambia and detection of protozoan parasites they are harbouring [PDF]

, 2017
Tabanids are haematophagous flies feeding on livestock and wildlife. In the absence of information on the relationship of tabanid flies and protozoan parasites in South Africa and Zambia, the current study was aimed at characterizing tabanid flies ...

Analytic Approaches in Genomic Epidemiological Studies of Parasitic Protozoa

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) plays an important role in the advanced characterization of pathogen transmission and is widely used in studies of major bacterial and viral diseases. Although protozoan parasites cause serious diseases in humans and animals, WGS data on them are relatively scarce due to the large genomes and lack of cultivation techniques

Detection of Tick‐Borne Pathogen Coinfections and Coexposures to Foot‐and‐Mouth Disease, Brucellosis, and Q Fever in Selected Wildlife From Kruger National Park, South Africa, and Etosha National Park, Namibia

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background: Although the rate of emerging infectious diseases that originate in wildlife has been increasing globally in recent decades, there is currently a lack of epidemiological data from wild animals. Methodology: We used serology to determine prior exposure to foot‐and‐mouth disease virus (FMDV), Brucella spp., and Coxiella burnetii and used ...

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

Generation and characterization of clonedTheileria parvaparasites

Parasitology, 1995
SUMMARYA 3-step procedure for cloningTheileria parvaparasites was developed. The first step involved thein vitroinfection of a fixed number of bovine lymphocytes with titrated sporozoites. The cell lines obtained from infections initiated using sporozoite/lymphocyte ratios below 1:100 were then selected for cloning as these contained schizont-infected ...

Guild Dynamics and Pathogen Interactions in Hyalomma Ticks From Algerian Cattle

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Ticks are pivotal in transmitting a variety of pathogens that affect both humans and animals. These pathogens often occur in guilds, groups of species that exploit similar resources in similar ways. Although the composition of tick‐borne pathogen (TBP) guilds is well‐documented, the interactions among pathogens within these guilds remain poorly ...

Le progrès vers un vaccin contre Theileria parva : Pertinence pour la recherche sur la cowdriose

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1993
Beaucoup de progrès ont été enregistrés durant les 10 dernières années en ce qui concerne la caractérisation de l'immunité bovine contre Theileria parva. Il n'est plus à démontrer que les bovins devenus immunisés après infection peuvent se débarrasser d'

Prevalence and spatial distribution of Theileria parva in cattle under crop-livestock farming systems in Tororo District, Eastern Uganda

Parasites & Vectors, 2014
Background Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) present a major economic burden to communities across East Africa. Farmers in East Africa must use acaracides to target ticks and prevent transmission of tick-borne diseases such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis ...

Molecular detection of tick-borne pathogen diversities in ticks from livestock and reptiles along the shores and adjacent islands of lake Victoria and lake Baringo, Kenya [PDF]

, 2017
Tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) are responsible for some of the most serious emerging infectious diseases facing sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and the rest of the world today (1, 2).

Theileria parva: Expression of a sporozoite surface coat antigen

Experimental Parasitology, 1985
A monoclonal antibody specific for the Theileria parva sporozoite, which recognizes a determinant on the surface coat and blocks sporozoite infectivity, was used to investigate the presence of the determinant on other stages of the parasite lifecycle. Immunofluorescence techniques did not demonstrate this determinant on the kinete, schizont, merozoite,
