| babesiosis in free-ranging chamois (rupicapra r. rupicapra) from switzerland. | pathological examination of five adult chamois (rupicapra r. rupicapra) found dead in two different regions from the swiss alps revealed pale mucous membranes and musculature, swollen spleen and haemoglobinuria. histologically, haemosiderosis in the spleen and centrilobular hepatic necrosis were the predominant findings. on blood smears, small (approximately 0.84-1.47 microm), round to pyriform, peripherally located inclusions were present in the erythrocytes. pcr followed by sequencing of dna e ... | 2007 | 17689015 |
| morphology and genetics of a babesia isolate from capreolus capreolus. | a babesia isolate that was morphologically distinct from babesia capreoli and very similar to b. divergens was found in the blood of a roe deer (capreolus capreolus) found dead in central italy. sequences corresponding to the full coding region of the 18s ribosomal rna (rrna) gene were identical to a sequence reported for babesia divergens from a reindeer (rangifer tarandus) and 99.9% and 99.8% similar to those reported for b. capreoli and bovine origin b. divergens, respectively. | 2008 | 18263834 |
| babesia capreoli infections in alpine chamois (rupicapra r. rupicapra), roe deer (capreolus c. capreolus) and red deer (cervus elaphus) from switzerland. | five cases of fatal babesiosis in free-ranging chamois (rupicapra r. rupicapra) attributed to infections with babesia capreoli were recently recorded in two regions of the swiss alps. to investigate the ecologic factors that possibly lead to those fatal b. capreoli infections in chamois, blood, ticks, and demographic data of 46 roe deer (capreolus c. capreolus), 48 chamois, and nine red deer (cervus elaphus) were collected in 2006 and 2007 in both affected regions. whereas no parasitic inclusion ... | 2009 | 19617485 |
| redescription of babesia capreoli (enigk and friedhoff, 1962) from roe deer (capreolus capreolus): isolation, cultivation, host specificity, molecular characterisation and differentiation from babesia divergens. | the recent use of the sole molecular identification of babesia infecting european cervids has led to confusion between the closely related babesia divergens and babesia capreoli, and to their grouping together as "b. divergens-like". in order to clarify this taxonomic confusion, babesia from roe deer, cattle and human blood were isolated, cultured and their biological as well as molecular characteristics compared. on this basis, we conclude that: (i) the parasites isolated from roe deer blood ar ... | 2010 | 19733572 |
| molecular cloning and genetic polymorphism of babesia capreoli gene bcp37/41, an ortholog of babesia divergens merozoite surface antigen bd37. | babesia divergens and babesia capreoli are closely related species with distinct host ranges, a zoonotic feature being described only for b. divergens. the two species are 99.8% similar in the 18s rdna gene sequence and indistinguishable by morphological or serological means, leading to confusion as to their species status. the phylogenetic relatedness between the two species, and the frequent involvement of surface components in serological cross-reactions led us to postulate that an ortholog o ... | 2010 | 21251759 |
| wild cervids are host for tick vectors of babesia species with zoonotic capability in belgium. | babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by different species of intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites within the genus babesia. different species of babesia are described as potentially zoonotic and cause a malaria-like disease mainly in immunocompromised humans. interest in the zoonotic potential of babesia is growing and babesiosis has been described by some authors as an emergent zoonotic disease. the role of cervids to maintain tick populations and act as a reservoir host for some babesia ... | 2012 | 22214270 |
