| molecular detection of theileria spp. and babesia spp. in sheep and ixodid ticks from the northeast of iran. | theilerioses and babesioses are important diseases in iranian sheep. the present study was undertaken to identify and classify/specify theileria spp. and babesia spp. in sheep and vector ticks. investigation was carried out from 2009 to 2011 in the khorasan razavi province, iran. in total, 302 sheep originating from 60 different flocks were clinically examined and their blood collected. in addition, from the same flocks, ixodid ticks were sampled. stained blood smears were microscopically examin ... | 2013 | 22924924 |
| differentiation of two ovine babesia based on the ribosomal dna internal transcribed spacer (its) sequences. | the first and second internal transcribed spacers (its1, its2) as well as the intervening 5.8s coding region of the rrna gene for six babesia spp. isolated from different geographic origins were characterized. varying degrees of its1 and its2 intra- and inter-species sequence polymorphism were found among these isolates. phylogenetic analysis of the its1-5.8s gene-its2 region clearly separated the isolates into two clusters. one held an unidentified babesia sp. transmitted by hyalomma anatolicum ... | 2009 | 18977349 |
