    • Establishment of Babesia vulpes n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Babesiidae), a piroplasmid species pathogenic for domestic dogs 

      Baneth, Gad; Cardoso, Luís; Brilhante Simões, Paula; Schnittger, Leonhard (BioMed Central, 2019)
      Background: Canine babesiosis is a severe disease caused by several Babesia spp. A number of names have been proposed for the canine-infecting piroplasmid pathogen initially named Theileria annae Zahler, Rinder, Schein ...
    • Evolutionary changes in symbiont community structure in ticks 

      Duron, Olivier; Binetruy, Florian; Noël, Valérie; Cremaschi, Julie; McCoy, Karen D.; Arnathau, Céline; Plantard, Olivier; Goolsby, John; Pérez de León, Adalberto A.; Heylen, Dieter J.

      Ecological specialization to restricted diet niches is driven by obligate, and often maternally inherited, symbionts in many arthropod lineages. These heritable symbionts typically form evolutionarily stable associations ...
    • 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 ...
