| a molecular survey of piroplasmida and hepatozoon isolated from domestic and wild animals in burgos (northern spain). | this study reports a molecular survey of hepatozoon species and of the order piroplasmida in the province of burgos, northern spain. the diagnostic techniques employed included pcr and the sequencing of the 18s rrna gene. eighty-nine blood samples from domestic animals plus 138 blood/coagulated blood samples from wild mammals were examined. theilerid protozoa were found at relatively high frequencies in bovines (14.6%) and horses (36%). theileria buffeli, t. sergenti and t. annulata were diagnos ... | 2009 | 19297099 |
| molecular detection of hemoprotozoa and rickettsia species in arthropods collected from wild animals in the burgos province, spain. | limited information on the presence of bacterial and hematozoan infections in parasitic arthropods from spain is available. in an attempt to address this issue, the prevalence of theileria, babesia, hepatozoon, and rickettsia species was investigated by polymerase chain reaction plus sequencing. in a survey for zoonotic pathogens in ectoparasites, 42 wild animals (which included rodents, carnivores, sciuridae, and cervidae) were captured in burgos (spain). a total of 256 arthropods (including 10 ... | 2010 | 20055580 |
