First molecular detection of piroplasmids in non-hematophagous bats from Brazil, with evidence of putative novel species

Priscila Ikeda et al.

Summary: This study identified putative new piroplasmid species in non-hematophagous bats from Brazil, suggesting a previously unknown diversity of hemoparasites in this group of mammals. The phylogenetic analysis revealed the relationship of these piroplasmids to known species, expanding our understanding of the evolutionary history of these parasites. Further research may be needed to explore the implications of these findings for bat populations and the potential transmission of these hemoparasites to other animals.

N-Glycosylation in Piroplasmids: Diversity within Simplicity

Monica Florin-Christensen et al.

Summary: N-glycosylation in piroplasmids exhibits different scenarios, with Babesia sensu stricto species adding N-acetylglucosamine molecules to proteins, while Theileria equi and Cytauxzoon felis add (NAcGlc)2-mannose. Experimental evidence shows the importance of N-glycosylation in Babesia bovis. Understanding the role of N-glycans in successful parasites like piroplasmids is crucial for developing better control measures.

Molecular Characterization of Hemoparasites and Hemoplasmas Infecting Domestic Cats of Southern India

Lanchalung Malangmei et al.

Summary: This study identified various blood parasites and hemoplasmas in apparently healthy cats from Kerala, southern India using light microscopic examination and PCR. The phylogenetic analysis revealed genetic variations and epidemiological information of these pathogens circulating in cats. Additionally, it is the first report of molecular detection of Cytauxzoon spp. and Candidatus M. turicensis in cats from India.

The repertoire of serine rhomboid proteases of piroplasmids of importance to animal and human health

Romina Gallenti et al.

Summary: This study classified and analyzed rhomboid proteins encoded in the genomes of different piroplasmid species, identifying 44 incorrectly classified or misannotated rhomboids. The distinguishing feature of Babesia s.s. from other piroplasmid lineages is the increased number of ROM4 paralogs. Piroplasmid ROM6 is the only rhomboid that is ubiquitous in other organisms.

Interaction between transforming Theileria parasites and their host bovine leukocytes

Shahin Tajeri et al.

Summary: Theileria are tick-transmitted parasites that cause fatal leuko-proliferative diseases in cattle, but their transformation of leukocytes is reversible with anti-theilerial drug treatment. Theileria-transformed leukocytes disseminate in infected cattle causing cancer-like disease. Cytokines, noncoding RNAs, and oncometabolites may contribute to the transformed phenotype and disease pathology.

Babesia bicornis, Theileria bicornis and Theileria equi in metapopulations of two black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) subspecies in South Africa and their potential impact on conservation

David E. Zimmermann et al.

Summary: Two black rhinoceros subspecies (Diceros bicornis bicornis and D. b. minor) in South African conservation areas are managed as separate metapopulations, with significant differences in occurrence of Babesia bicornis and other piroplasms. Rhinoceroses in more arid areas appear to be free of T. bicornis and B. bicornis, likely due to the absence of vectors. Appropriate prophylactic actions should be taken when individuals are relocated for metapopulation management purposes.

Molecular identification and genetic characterization of tick-borne pathogens in sheep and goats at two farms in the central and southern regions of Malawi

Elisha Chatanga et al.

Summary: Tick-borne diseases caused by Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Babesia and Theileria are widespread in small ruminants in tropical and sub-tropical countries. The study in Malawi found that 76.6% of sheep and goats tested positive for at least one tick-borne pathogen, with 45% exhibiting co-infections with multiple pathogens. This research represents a significant milestone in understanding and controlling tick-borne pathogens in small ruminants in Malawi.

Molecular detection and characterization of T. equi by the complete 18S rDNA sequence was successfully achieved for the first time in Argentina. Further research on the distribution and heterogeneity of T. equi genotypes in Argentina is essential for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of equine piroplasmosis.

Circulation of Babesia Species and Their Exposure to Humans through Ixodes ricinus

Summary: The study found various Babesia species circulating in reservoir hosts and ticks in the Netherlands, but no reported autochthonous cases of human babesiosis. Co-infections of Babesia species in reservoir hosts and ticks may contribute to a higher prevalence of the pathogens, while restricted distribution of certain species like B. divergens and low infection rates in ticks could explain the absence of reported human cases in the region.

This study aimed to detect R. vitalii parasitism in the Uruguayan wild fox population, with positive samples found in crab-eating foxes but not in pampas foxes. Molecular analysis suggests circulation of R. vitalii in the crab-eating fox population in Uruguay, with unknown veterinary relevance for these foxes.
