| clinical and laboratory studies on theileriosis outbreaks in sicily, italy. | a total of 153 blood samples were collected all over the sicilian island in 15 farms. 29.4% and 25.5% were pcr positive for theileria annulata and t. buffeli/orientalis respectively. 15.7% of cattle blood samples showed a mixed infection with both theileria species. each farm showed an infection rate ranging from 0% to 100%. hyalomma marginatum and boophilus annulatus were the most common ticks collected in april and november 1998 respectively. the aim of the present work was to investigate on h ... | 1999 | 11071547 |
| integrated molecular diagnosis of theileria and babesia species of cattle in italy. | a reverse line blot hybridization (rlb) test was developed to specifically identify six theileria spp. (t. annulata, t. parva, t. mutans, t. velifera, t. taurotragi, and t. buffeli/orientalis) and three babesia spp. (b. bovis, b. bigemina, and b. divergens). no cross reaction was observed with other livestock pathogens (such as anaplasma marginale, a. centrale, a. ovis, cowdria ruminantium, trypanosoma brucei, t. congolense, and t. vivax). this method was used to test bovine blood samples collec ... | 2000 | 11193668 |
| detection of haemoparasites in cattle by reverse line blot hybridisation with a note on the distribution of ticks in sicily. | a reverse line blot hybridisation (rlb) of 21 oligonucleotides with polymerase chain reaction (pcr) amplified regions of 16s rrna (ehrlichia/anaplasma group) or 18s rrna (babesia/theileria group) genes of haemoparasites detected theileria annulata, t. buffeli/orientalis, babesia bovis, b. bigemina, b. divergens, ehrlichia bovis, anaplasma marginale, a. centrale and unknown species within the rickettsia tribe.a very high prevalence of mixed infections was detected, which indicated that animals in ... | 2001 | 11511414 |
