| Babesia bovis, B. bigemina, Trypanosoma evansi, and Anaplasma marginate infections cause serious diseases in cattle, and are primarily transmitted by arthropod vectors (ticks for B. bovis, B. bigemina, and A. marginate and various types of flies for T. evansi). In the last few years, there have been many reports of a high prevalence of certain protozoan infections in northern Egypt, but no accurate or adequate data are available for the southern regions. Therefore, in this study, we screened for evidence of such diseases in economically important cattle species using serum samples. The seroprevalence of protozoan infections in cattle was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays using species-specific diagnostic antigens. In a total of 301 cattle... |

| Toxoplasma gondii microneme protein 2 (TgMIC2), an apically stored adhesin, was shown to be a key participant involved in the initial attachment and invasion to a host cell. In this study, we had established the clonal line of T. gondii tachyzoites which over-expressed TgMIC2 using the tetracycline repressor (TetR)-based inducible gene expression system. The TgMIC2 over-expression significantly reduced tachyzoite propagation in vitro (p < 0.002) and significantly reduced the parasite virulence in mice (p = 0.002). The over-expression of exogenous TgMIC2 caused the increase of mRNA expression level of endogenous TgMIC2. Wild type parasites mainly expressed TgMIC2115 protein, the microneme store and the surface form of TgMIC2. Over-expression of TgMIC2... |

| Babesia microti is a tick-transmitted zoonotic hemoprotozoan parasite. In the present study, we investigated B. microti infection in questing ticks in Mongolia. A total of 219 questing ticks were collected from three different Mongolian provinces (Bayan-Olgii, Khovsgol, and Selenge). Of these, 63 from Selenge were identified as Ixodes persulcatus, while the remaining 156 (from all three provinces) were identified as Dermacentor nuttalli. When the tick DNA samples were screened using a B. microti-specific nested PCR, 19 (30.2%) of the 63 I. persulcatus ticks were found to be B. microti-positive. The parasite was not detected in D. nuttalli. Subsequently, the 18S rRNA, cox1, and tufA sequences of B. microti were amplified, sequenced, and subjected to... |

| With the hypothesis that African trypanosomes could have in vivo specific genes for adaptation to host’s environment, the present study was conducted by using suppressive subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique to seek the highly expressed genes especially in host. A total of 328 clones from the in vivo SSH library and that of 160 clones from the in vitro SSH library were analyzed in order to determine their expression levels, but none of the above-mentioned genes showed differential expression. This indicates that no trypanosome genes could be differentially expressed either the in vivo or in vitro propagated trypanosomes. Alternatively, there might be limitation for detecting specifically expressed genes in African trypanosomes using this method,... |

| In this study, we developed loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for the specific detection of both animal and human trypanosomosis using primer sets that are designed from 5.8S rRNA-internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) gene for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, 18S rRNA for both T. congolense and T. cruzi, and VSG RoTat 1.2 for T. evansi. These LAMP primer sets are highly sensitive and are capable of detecting down to 1 fg trypanosomal DNA, which is equivalent to 0.01 trypanosomes. LAMP is a rapid and simple technique since it can be carried out in 1 h and requires only a simple heating device for incubation. Therefore, LAMP has great potential of being used for diagnosis of trypanosomosis in the laboratory and the field, especially in countries that... |

| Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) is a pleiotropic cytokine with both pro- and antiinflammatory properties, depending on its environment and concentration. The present study evaluated the effects of orally-delivered TGF-β1 on mice parenterally-infected with various protozoan parasites. We report that while orally-administered TGF-β1 seems to confer partial protection against murine chronic babesiosis and acute trypanosomosis, no beneficial clinical effects were observed against acute babesiosis, malaria or toxoplasmosis. Taken together, these preliminary data suggest that the systemic effects conferred by exogenous TGF-β1 could be parasite speciesspecific. The variations in different parasitic infections could be due to (i) intrinsic differences... |

| We have developed two loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for the detection of Theileria parva, the causative agent of East Coast fever (ECF), an economically important cattle disease in eastern, central and southern Africa. These assays target the polymorphic immunodominant molecule (PIM) and p150 LAMP genes. The primer set for each gene target consists of six primers, and each set recognises eight distinct regions on the target gene to give highly specific detection of T. parva. The detection limit of each primer set is 1 fg, which is equivalent to one copy of the PIM and p150 T. parva genes. These PIM and p150 LAMP primer sets amplify DNA of T. parva isolates from cattle and buffalo from different countries including Kenya, South... |
