• 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 ...
    • Unraveling the complexity of the rhomboid serine protease 4 family of Babesia bovis using bioinformatics and experimental studies 

      Gallenti, Romina Josefina; Hussein, Hala E.; Alzan, Heba F.; Suarez, Carlos Esteban; Ueti, Massaro W.; Asurmendi, Sebastian; Benitez, Daniel Francisco; Araujo, Flabio Ribeiro de; Rolls, Peter; Sibeko, Kgomotso; Schnittger, Leonhard; Florin-Christensen, Mónica (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 ...
    • Vaccination against babesiosis using recombinant GPI-anchored proteins 

      Wieser, Sara Nathaly; Schnittger, Leonhard; Florin-Christensen, Monica; Delbecq, Stephane; Schetters, Theo (Elsevier, 2019-01)
      The increase in human babesiosis is of major concern to health authorities. In the USA, most of these cases are due to infections with Babesia microti, whereas in Europe B. divergens is the major cause of clinical disease ...
    • Vaccines against bovine babesiosis: where we are now and possible roads ahead 

      Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Suarez, Carlos Esteban; Rodriguez, Anabel Elisa; Flores, Daniela; Schnittger, Leonhard (Cambridge University Press, 2014-10)
      Bovine babesiosis caused by the tick-transmitted haemoprotozoans Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina and Babesia divergens commonly results in substantial cattle morbidity and mortality in vast world areas. Although existing ...
