• Characterization of GASA-1, a new vaccine candidate antigen of Babesia bovis 

      Flores, Daniela; Rodriguez, Anabel Elisa; Tomazic, Mariela Luján; Torioni, Susana Marta; Echaide, Ignacio Eduardo; Zamorano, Patricia Ines; Langellotti, Cecilia Ana; Araujo, Flabio Ribeiro de; Rolls, Peter; Schnittger, Leonhard; Florin-Christensen, Mónica (Elsevier, 2020-11)
      Surface proteins bound to the cell membrane by glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors are considered essential for the survival of pathogenic protozoans. In the case of the tick-transmitted hemoparasite Babesia bovis, ...
    • Evidence for extensive genetic diversity and substructuring of the Babesia bovis metapopulation 

      Flores, Daniela; Minichiello, Y.; Araujo, Flabio Ribeiro de; Shkap, V.; Benitez, Daniel Francisco; Echaide, Ignacio Eduardo; Rolls, P.; Mosqueda, J.; Pacheco, Maria Gabriela; Petterson, Maria Elizabeth; Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Schnittger, Leonhard (2013-11)
      Babesia bovis is a tick-transmitted haemoprotozoan and a causative agent of bovine babesiosis, a cattle disease that causes significant economic loss in tropical and subtropical regions. A panel of nineteen micro- and ...
    • Immunisation of cattle against Babesia bovis combining a multi-epitope modified vaccinia Ankara virus and a recombinant protein induce strong Th1 cell responses but fails to trigger neutralising antibodies required for protection 

      Jaramillo Ortiz, Jose Manuel; Paoletta, Martina; Gravisaco, María José; Lopez Arias, Ludmila Sol; Montenegro, Valeria Noely; De La Fourniere, Sofia; Valenzano, Magali Nicole; Guillemi, Eliana Carolina; Valentini, Beatriz Susana; Echaide, Ignacio Eduardo; Farber, Marisa Diana; Wilkowsky, Silvina Elizabeth (Elsevier, 2019-10)
      Protection against the intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite Babesia bovis depends on both strong innate and adaptive immune response, this latter involving the presentation of parasite antigens to CD4+ T-lymphocytes by ...
    • 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 ...
    • The glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein repertoire of Babesia bovis and its significance for erythrocyte invasion 

      Rodriguez, Anabel Elisa; Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Flores, Daniela; Echaide, Ignacio Eduardo; Suarez, Carlos Esteban; Schnittger, Leonhard (2014-04)
      Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins are abundant on the surface of pathogenic protozoans and might play an important role for parasite survival. In the present work, the relevance of GPI-anchored proteins for ...
