    • Cysteine proteinase C1A paralog profiles correspond with phylogenetic lineages of pathogenic piroplasmids 

      Ascencio, Mariano; Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Mamoun, Choukri B.; Weir, William; Shiels, Brian; Schnittger, Leonhard (MDPI, 2018-04)
      Piroplasmid parasites comprising of Babesia, Theileria, and Cytauxzoon are transmitted by ticks to farm and pet animals and have a significant impact on livestock industries and animal health in tropical and subtropical ...

    • Degrade to survive : the intricate world of piroplasmid proteases 

      Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Sojka, Daniel; Ganzinelli, Sabrina Belen; Snebergerová, Pavla; Suarez, Carlos Esteban; Schnittger, Leonhard (Elsevier, 2023-07)
      Piroplasmids of the genera Babesia, Theileria, and Cytauxzoon are tick-transmitted parasites with a high impact on animals and humans. They have complex life cycles in their definitive arthropod and intermediate vertebrate ...

    • Diverse tick-borne microorganisms identified in free-living ungulates in Slovakia 

      Kazimirová, Mária; Hamšíkova, Zuzana; Spitalska, Eva; Minichova, Lenka; Mahrikova, Lenka; Caban, Radoslav; Sprong, Hein; Fonville, Manoj; Schnittger, Leonhard; Kocianova, Elena (BMC, 2018-09)
      Background: Free-living ungulates are hosts of ixodid ticks and reservoirs of tick-borne microorganisms in central Europe and many regions around the world. Tissue samples and engorged ticks were obtained from roe deer, ...

    • N-Glycosylation in piroplasmids : Diversity within simplicity 

      Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Rodriguez, Anabel Elisa; Suarez, Carlos Esteban; Ueti, Massaro W.; Delgado, Fernando Oscar; Echaide, Ignacio Eduardo; Schnittger, Leonhard (MDPI, 2021-01)
      N-glycosylation has remained mostly unexplored in Piroplasmida, an order of tick-transmitted pathogens of veterinary and medical relevance. Analysis of 11 piroplasmid genomes revealed three distinct scenarios regarding ...

    • Reclassification of Theileria annae as Babesia vulpes sp. nov. 

      Baneth, Gad; Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Cardoso, Luís; Schnittger, Leonhard (2015-04)
      Background: Theileria annae is a tick-transmitted small piroplasmid that infects dogs and foxes in North America and Europe. Due to disagreement on its placement in the Theileria or Babesia genera, several synonyms have ...

    • The Piroplasmida Babesia, Cytauxzoon, and Theileria in farm and companion animals : species compilation, molecular phylogeny, and evolutionary insights 

      Schnittger, Leonhard; Ganzinelli, Sabrina Belen; Bhoora, Raksha; Omondi, David; Nijhof, Ard M.; Florin-Christensen, Mónica (Springer, 2022-05)
      The order Piroplasmida, including the genera Babesia, Cytauxzoon, and Theileria is often referred to as piroplasmids and comprises of dixenous hemoprotozoans transmitted by ticks to a mammalian or avian host. Although ...

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

      Gallenti, Romina Josefina; Poklepovich Caride, Tomás Javier; Florin-Christensen, Monica; Schnittger, Leonhard (Elsevier, 2021-05)
      Babesia, Theileria and Cytauxzoon are tick-borne apicomplexan protozoans of the order Piroplasmida, notorious for the diseases they cause in livestock, pets and humans. Host cell invasion is their Achilles heel, allowing ...
