| the indirect fluorescent antibody test based on schizont antigen for study of the sheep parasite theileria lestoquardi. | an indirect fluorescent antibody test (ifat), based on schizont-infected lymphoblastoid cells, was applied to study the course of antibody production in adult sheep inoculated with attenuated, in vitro grown, theileria lestoquardi (theileria hirci) infected cells. bright fluorescence of the intracellular schizonts could first be demonstrated 15 days after inoculation. a 32-64-fold rise in antibody titres was recorded 1 month after infection, and substantial titres were still observed 90 days aft ... | 1997 | 9187025 |
| ticks and tick-borne pathogens from wildlife in the free state province, south africa. | eight ixodid tick species, associated with 59 free-ranging mammals belonging to 10 species, were collected at five different localities in the free state province, south africa. four of the study areas were nature reserves (willem pretorius, sandveld, tussen-die-riviere, and soetdoring), and one site was a private farm located in senekal district. the collection was performed from march 2006 until june 2006. ticks (n=569) and tissues from animals (n=52) were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction ... | 2009 | 19395753 |
| occurrence of blood-borne tick-transmitted parasites in common tsessebe (damaliscus lunatus) antelope in northern cape province, south africa. | blood samples were collected from 71 tsessebes relocated from the deproclaimed vaalbos national park to mokala national park, south africa. dna was extracted from the samples and the reverse line blot (rlb) hybridization technique was used to detect and identify any haemoparasites present. six samples hybridized to the theileria/babesia genus-specific probe, the theileria genus-specific probe and the theileria sp. (sable) probe, while 3/6 also hybridized to the theileria separata probe. full-len ... | 2011 | 21764218 |
| Babesia ovis as the main causative agent of sheep babesiosis in Iran. | Babesiosis is a haemoparasitic disease with high economical losses in livestock industry worldwide. The early diagnosis and successful therapy of babesiosis belong to the key steps of control and health management of livestock. Ethanol-fixed blood samples of 400 sheep were analyzed for Babesia infection. Reverse line blot (RLB) was established specifically for Theileria lestoquardi, Theileria (China 1), Theileria (China 2), Theileria ovis, Theileria separata, Babesia ovis, Babesia motasi, Babesi ... | 2011 | 21975684 |
| molecular detection and characterization of theileria infecting wildebeest (connochaetes taurinus) in the maasai mara national reserve, kenya. | theileria is a genus of tick-borne protozoan that is globally widespread and infects nearly all ungulates in which they cause either latent infection or lethal disease. wild animals are considered reservoir hosts of many species of theileria and their diversity in wildlife species is increasingly becoming of interest. the molecular characterization and identification of theileria infecting wildlife has been studied in a few species including buffalo, which are considered reservoir host for theil ... | 2015 | 26295263 |
