An extensive range of serological and molecular diagnostic assays exist for most of the
economically important Theileira species such as T. annulata, T. equi, T. lestoquardi, T …

Theileria parasites infect a wide range of domestic and wild ruminants worldwide, causing
diseases with varying degrees of severity. A broad classification, based on the parasite's …

Using an active approach to preventing biofilm formation, we implemented a microfluidic
bioreactor that enables long-term culture and monitoring of extremely small populations of …

Babesia bovis is an apicomplexan tick-transmitted pathogen of cattle imposing a global risk
and severe constraints to livestock health and economic development. The complete …

Apicomplexan parasites constitute one of the most significant groups of pathogens infecting
humans and animals. The liver stage sporozoites of Plasmodium spp. and tachyzoites of …

The genome of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii was found to contain two genes
encoding tyrosine hydroxylase; that produces l-DOPA. The encoded enzymes metabolize …

We report the genome sequence of Theileria parva, an apicomplexan pathogen causing
economic losses to smallholder farmers in Africa. The parasite chromosomes exhibit limited …

We have sequenced the genome of the emerging human pathogen Babesia microti and
compared it with that of other protozoa. B. microti has the smallest nuclear genome among …

Cytoadherance of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes in the brain, organs and
peripheral microvasculature is linked to morbidity and mortality associated with severe …

Tropical theileriosis, bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis are tick-borne protozoan
diseases that impose serious constraints on the health and productivity of domestic cattle in …
