Genetic diversity in Babesia bovis from southern Africa and estimation of B. bovis infection levels in cattle using an optimised quantitative PCR assay

Charles Byaruhanga et al.

Summary: B. bovis is a causal agent of bovine babesiosis and sequence variation between B. bovis parasites in southern Africa was determined by amplifying and sequencing the msa-2b and 18S rRNA genes. The TaqMan qPCR assay was optimized for the detection of B. bovis in field samples. The optimized qPCR assay showed higher detection rate compared to the reverse line blot assay and previously published qPCR assay.

Ticks and tick-borne pathogens infecting livestock and dogs in Tchicala-Tcholoanga, Huambo Province, Angola

Gourgelia Sili et al.

Summary: In this study conducted in Tchicala-Tcholoanga, Angola in 2016, a total of 17 tick species and 15 tick-borne pathogens were identified in domestic animals. The research also reported new records of certain tick species in Angola and provided important findings regarding the prevalence of various pathogens in cattle, goats, sheep, and dogs. These pioneering findings contribute to the understanding of tick-borne diseases in Angola.
