Publisher Summary The piroplasms are protozoa that are highly pathogenic to cattle, sheep,
goats, and occasionally even to man. They comprise two genera—namely, Theileria and …

Although apicomplexan parasites of the group Piroplasmida represent commonly identified
global risks to both animals and humans, detailed knowledge of their life cycles is …

Small subunit ribosomal RNA (srRNA) genes of three Theileria species, one Cytauxzoon
and four Babesia species were amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) …

Theileria are economically important, intra-cellular protozoa, transmitted by ixodid ticks,
which infect wild and domestic ruminants. In the mammalian host, parasites infect leukocytes …

The history of the genus Babesia is briefly outlined. The classical differences with the main
other genus of non-pigment-forming hemoparasites, Theileria, are the absence of extra …

Babesia argeutina, a protozoan parasite causing tick fever of cattle in Australia, is
transmitted by Boophilus microplus. Its development in this invertebrate vector is very similar …

Babesia are tick-transmitted hemoprotozooans that infect mammals and birds, and which
are acknowledged for their major impact on farm and pet animal health and associated …

The genetic diversity and prevalence of virtually all Theileria and Babesia species in a
sheep population were studied using a specifically designed reverse line blot macroarray …

The order Piroplasmida, including the genera Babesia, Cytauxzoon, and Theileria is often
referred to as piroplasmids and comprises of dixenous hemoprotozoans transmitted by ticks …

The kinetics of replication of Theileria parva (Muguga) in the bovine host were studied using
infections produced by 10 1, 10 2, and 10 3 ticks. It was found that the growth of the …
