| high prevalence of theileria sp. in wild chinese water deer (hydropotes inermis argyropus) in south korea. | wild chinese water deer exist in large numbers in northeast asia, including south korea. the deer population is so widespread that they are common even in urban areas, resulting in increased contact with humans and domestic animals. the purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of theileria sp. infection in wild chinese water deer in south korea. using biomolecular techniques, blood samples taken from 18 wild chinese water deer were examined. thirteen of the 18 samples (72%) tested pos ... | 2009 | 19577370 |
| detection and molecular characterization of theileria sp. in fallow deer (dama dama) and ticks from an italian natural preserve. | the prevalence of piroplasms in a closed population of fallow deer (dama dama l.) living in the italian preserve of "bosco della mesola" - ferrara (mesola wood) was investigated. blood samples and ticks were collected from 62 fallow deer. on microscopic observation, 28 (45.0%) blood samples were positive for piroplasms while pcr provided evidence for piroplasms infection in 47 (75.8%) fallow deer. the 67 ticks, collected from positive and negative animals, were identified as ixodesricinus l., 17 ... | 2010 | 20810139 |
| molecular detection of tick-borne bacteria and protozoa in cervids and wild boars from portugal. | wildlife can act as reservoir of different tick-borne pathogens, such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. the aim of the present study was to assess the presence of tick-borne bacteria and protozoa with veterinary and zoonotic importance in cervids and wild boars from the centre and south of portugal. | 2016 | 27160767 |
| dna of piroplasms of ruminants and dogs in ixodid bat ticks. | in this study 308 ticks (ixodes ariadnae: 26 larvae, 14 nymphs, five females; i. vespertilionis: 89 larvae, 27 nymphs, eight females; i. simplex: 80 larvae, 50 nymphs, nine females) have been collected from 200 individuals of 17 bat species in two countries, hungary and romania. after dna extraction these ticks were molecularly analysed for the presence of piroplasm dna. in hungary i. ariadnae was most frequently identified from bat species in the family vespertilionidae, whereas i. vespertilion ... | 2016 | 27930692 |
| the prevalence and impact of babesia canis and theileria sp. in free-ranging grey wolf (canis lupus) populations in croatia. | babesia spp. and theileria spp. are important emerging causes of disease in dogs. alongside these domesticated hosts, there is increasing recognition that these piroplasms can also be found in a range of wild animals with isolated reports describing the presence of these pathogen in foxes (vulpes vulpes) and captive grey wolves (canis lupus). the prevalence and impact of these infections in free-ranging populations of canids are unknown. to gain a better insight into the epidemiology and pathoge ... | 2017 | 28376903 |
| molecular evidence for piroplasms in wild reeves' muntjac (muntiacus reevesi) in china. | dna from liver samples of 17 free-ranging wild reeves' muntjac (muntiacus reevesi) was used for pcr amplification of piropalsm 18s rrna gene. of 17 samples, 14 (82.4%) showed a specific pcr product which were cloned and sequenced. blast analysis of the sequences obtained showed similarities to babesia sp., theileria capreoli, theileria uilenbergi and theileria sp. bo302-se. phylogenetic analysis showed that the babesia sp. detected in the present study was distantly separated from known babesia ... | 2014 | 24970769 |
