Equine Piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease caused by apicomplexan protozoan
parasites, Babesia caballi and Theileria equi. The disease is responsible for serious …

A fatal disease of sheep and goats in the northwestern part of China has in the past been
reported to be due to Theileria lestoquardi. However, some characteristics of the causative …

Characteristic sequence signatures were identified within the hypervariable region 4 (V4
region) of the small ribosomal RNA gene of ovine/caprine piroplasm species including …

A molecular epidemiological survey of the protozoal parasites that cause equine
piroplasmosis was conducted using samples collected from horses and zebra from different …

The phylogenetic relationship of Theileria and Babesia species infecting sheep and goats
on the basis of their 18S RNA gene structure was addressed in the present study. For this …

The present paper is the continuation of our previous studies dealing with the genetic
characterization of piroplasmid species found in southern Europe. We report in this work …

There are three economically important bovine Theileria species: Theileria annulata, which
causes tropical theileriosis and occurs across north Africa and most of central Asia; Theileria …

Taxonomic characterization of organisms in the genera Theileria and Babesia was originally
based on observations of morphology and certain general phenotypic characteristics, which …

A fatal disease of sheep and goats in the northwestern part of China has been reported to be
due to Theileria lestoquardi (syn. T. hirci). However, some characteristics of the causative …

Bovine tropical theileriosis, caused by the tick-borne protozoan Theileria annulata, imposes
a serious constraint upon breed improvement programmes and livestock production in …
