Molecular identification of Sarcocystis aucheniae as the macrocyst-forming parasite of llamas
Carletti, Tamara; Martin, Mara; Romero, Sandra Raquel; Morrison, David A.; Marcoppido, Gisela Ariana; Florin-Christensen, Monica; Schnittger, Leonhard (2013-12)The domestic South American camelids (SACs), llama (Lama glama) and alpaca (Lama paco), are frequently found to be infected with Sarcocystis parasites. Infections give rise in skeletal muscle to macroscopic cysts (1–5 mm ... -
Prevalence and risk factors for shedding of Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in dairy calves of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Garro, Carlos Javier; Morici, Gabriel Edgardo; Utges, María E.; Tomazic, Mariela Luján; Schnittger, Leonhard (2016)In order to determine the prevalence and risk factors for shedding of Cryptosporidium spp. in dairy calves, a cross-sectional study was carried out in the northeastern region of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. Fecal ... -
Prevalence of Cryptosporidium parvum in dairy calves and GP60 subtyping of diarrheic calves in central Argentina
Lombardelli, Joaquín Andrés; Tomazic, Mariela Luján; Schnittger, Leonhard; Tiranti, Karina (Springer, 2019-07)Cryptosporidiosis of calves is caused by the enteroprotozoan Cryptosporidium spp. The disease results in intense diarrhea of calves associated with substantial economic losses in dairy farming worldwide. The aim of this ... -
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 ... -
A recombinant multi-antigen vaccine formulation containing Babesia bovis merozoite surface antigens MSA-2a1, MSA- 2b and MSA-2c elicits invasion-inhibitory antibodies and IFN-γ producing cells
Gimenez, Alba Marina; Françoso, Katia S.; Ersching, Jonatan; Icimoto, Marcelo Y.; Oliveira, Vitor; Rodriguez, Anabel Elisa; Schnittger, Leonhard; Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Rodrigues, Mauricio M.; Soares, Irene S. (2016)Background: Babesia bovis is a tick-transmitted protozoan hemoparasite and the causative agent of bovine babesiosis, a potential risk to more than 500 million cattle worldwide. The vaccines currently available are based ... -
Seropositivity to Sarcocystis infection of llamas correlates with breeding practices
Romero, Sandra Raquel; Carletti, Tamara; Decker Franco, Cecilia; Moré, Gastón; Schnittger, Leonhard; Florin-Christensen, Mónica (2017-12)Production of llama (Lama glama) meat in rural communities of the Andean regions is largely affected by Sarcocystis spp. infection. Macroscopic cysts develop in muscles as a consequence of S. aucheniae parasitism, often ... -
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 ... -
Vaccination against babesiosis using recombinant GPI-anchored proteins
Wieser, Sarah 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 ...
