Unraveling the complexity of the rhomboid serine protease 4 family of Babesia bovis using bioinformatics and experimental studies
(MDPI, 2022-03)Babesia bovis, a tick-transmitted apicomplexan protozoon, infects cattle in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. In the apicomplexans Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum, rhomboid serine protease 4 ... -
Effects of a blend of chestnut and quebracho tannins on gut health and performance of broiler chickens
(Plos ONE, 2022-01)Antimicrobial restrictions prompted the search for cost and biologically effective alternatives to replace antimicrobial growth promoters (AGPs) in food-producing animals. In addition, the efficacy of this alternatives ... -
International interlaboratory validation of a nested PCR for molecular detection of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina, causative agents of bovine babesiosis
(Elsevier, 2022-04)Babesia bovis and B. bigemina are tick-transmitted parasites causing bovine babesiosis, characterized by significant morbidity and mortality leading to economic losses to the livestock industry in tropical and subtropical ... -
