Transient transfection of Babesia ovis using heterologous promoters

  • Authors: Rosa C, Asada M, Hakimi H, Domingos A, Pimentel M, Antunes S
  • Publication Year: 2019
  • Journal: Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
  • Link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877959X19301566

Babesia species, etiological agents of babesiosis, a recognized emerging tick-borne disease, are a significant animal and human health concern with a worldwide socio-economic impact. The development of genetic manipulation techniques, such as transfection technology, is pivotal to improve knowledge regarding the biology of these poorly studied parasites towards better disease control strategies. For Babesia ovis, responsible for ovine […]

Ferritin 1 silencing effect in Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (Acari: Ixodidae) during experimental infection with Ehrlichia canis

  • Authors: André MR, Antunes S, Bechara GH, Couto J, Domingos A, Évora PM, Ferrolho J, Machado RZ, Rosa C, Sanches GS
  • Publication Year: 2017
  • Journal: Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases

Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.) is a very common ectoparasite of domestic dogs able to transmit several pathogens of human and veterinary importance. Tick infestations and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) remain a serious and persistent problem, due to the lack of efficient control measures. It is therefore vital that novel approaches to control are pursued. Whilst […]

Deciphering babesia-vector interactions

  • Authors: Antunes S, Couto J, Domingos A, Ferrolho J, Rosa C
  • Publication Year: 2017
  • Journal: Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
  • Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5627281/

Understanding host-pathogen-tick interactions remains a vitally important issue that might be better understood by basic research focused on each of the dyad interplays. Pathogens gain access to either the vector or host during tick feeding when ticks are confronted with strong hemostatic, inflammatory and immune responses. A prominent example of this is the Babesia spp.—tick—vertebrate host relationship. Babesia spp. […]
