The role of regulatory CD4+CD25+ T cell subset in host homeostasis during protozoan infection

  • Authors: Domingos A, Domingues N, Ferrolho J, Santos-Gomes G
  • Publication Year: 2015
  • Journal: International Trends in Immunity

Human diseases caused by protozoan parasites are renowned for their high rates of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Some examples include African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness, American trypanosomiasis or Chagas disease, leishmaniases, malaria and babesiosis. These infections tend to follow a chronic rather than an acute course with lifelong persistence of parasites. Regulatory T cells (Treg), in […]

Artificial feeding of rhipicephalus microplus female ticks with anti calreticulin serum do not influence tick and Babesia bigemina acquisition

  • Authors: Antunes S, de la Fuente J, Domingos A, Domingues N, Lerias J, Merino O, Mosqueda J
  • Publication Year: 2015
  • Journal: Ticks Tick Borne Diseases

Ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites considered the principal vectors of disease among animals. Rhipicephalus microplus and R. annulatus ticks are the most important vectors for Babesia bigemina and B. bovis, two of the most important intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites species in cattle, responsible for babesiosis which together with anaplasmosis account for substantial economic losses in the […]

Anaplasma marginale and Theileria annulata in questing ticks from Portugal

  • Authors: Antunes S, Domingos A, Domingues N, Ferrolho J, Santos AS, Santos-Silva MM
  • Publication Year: 2016
  • Journal: Experimental and Applied Acarology
  • Link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10493-016-0057-y

Ticks are ubiquitous arthropods and vectors of several pathogenic agents in animals and humans. Monitoring questing ticks is of great importance to ascertain the occurrence of pathogens and the potential vector species, offering an insight into the risk of disease transmission in a given area. In this study 428 host-seeking ticks, belonging to nine species of […]
