| The effect of artesunate, a water-soluble artemisinin derivative, against Babesia species, such as Babesia bovis, Babesia gibsoni, and Babesia microti was studied. Cultures of B. bovis and B. gibsoni were treated with 0.26 μM, 2.6 μM, 26 μM, and 260 μM artesunate, and the growth-inhibitory effect was shown in over 2.6 μM artesunate in day 4 and day 3 post-subculture for B. bovis and B. gibsoni, respectively, in dose-dependent manner. In vivo experiment for B. microti, strong inhibition effects were observed in mouse groups treated with over 1.0 mg/kg body weight of artesunate on day 9 and 10 post-infection. These results suggest that artesunate could be a potential drug for Babesia infection. |

| The emergence of drug resistance and adverse side effects of current bovine babesiosis treatment suggest that the search of new drug targets and development of safer and effective compounds are required. This study focuses on dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), the fourth enzyme of pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway as a potential drug target for bovine babesiosis. Recombinant Babesia bovis DHODH protein (rBboDHODH) was produced in Escherichia coli and used for characterization and measurement of enzymatic activity. Furthermore, the effects of DHODH inhibitors were evaluated in vitro. The recombinant B. bovis DHODH histidine fusion protein (rBboDHODH) had 42.4-kDa molecular weight and exhibited a specific activity of 475.7 ± 245 Unit/mg, a Km = 276.2 µM for... |

| In the present study, we examined the effects of four kinds of cysteine protease inhibitors (E64, E64d, leupeptin, and ALLN) on the in vitro asexual growth of Babesia bovis. Of these, only the lipophilic inhibitors, E64d and ALLN, were found to effectively inhibit the growth of B. bovis. In further experiments, E64d, but not ALLN, significantly suppressed the parasite’s invasion of host erythrocytes, while both chemicals, especially ALLN, inhibited the parasite’s replication within the infected erythrocytes. These data suggested the presence of cysteine protease(s) derived from B. bovis, in which the protease(s) would play important roles in the erythrocyte invasion and/or replication processes of the parasite. |

| Num estudo retrospectivo de 1.071 necropsias de bovinos, foram encontrados 20 casos de babesiose cerebral confirmados pelo exame de esfregaços do córtex telencefálico. A maioria desses casos ocorreu no verão, em bovinos adultos de raças européias ou suas cruzas. Além dos sinais clínicos neurológicos, observou-se hemoglobinúria, anorexia, febre, taquicardia, taquipnéia e queda na produção de leite. O hemograma realizado em cinco bovinos afetados revelou acentuada anemia regenerativa; em média, 20% dos eritrócitos estavam parasitados por Babesia bovis. Na necropsia de todos os casos, a substância cinzenta dos córtices telencefálico e cerebelar e dos núcleos da base era consistente e caracteristicamente róseo-cereja. Essa coloração devia-se ao seqüestro de... |

| Bovine babesiosis is a livestock disease known to cause economic losses in endemic areas. The apicomplexan parasite Babesia bovis is able to invade and destroy the host’s erythrocytes leading to the serious pathologies of the disease, such as anemia and hemoglobinuria. Understanding the egress mechanisms of this parasite is therefore a key step to develop new therapeutic strategies. In this study, the possible involvement of Ca2+ in the egress of B. bovis merozoites from infected erythrocytes was investigated. Egress was artificially induced in vitro using calcium ionophore A23187 and thapsigargin to increase Ca2+ concentration in the cytosol of the parasite cells. The increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration following these treatments was confirmed... |

| Este trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de determinar si los búfalos en el Occidente de Cuba son portadores de la infección por Babesia bovis, empleando un ensayo de PCR Anidada (nPCR). Se procesaron 222 muestras de ADN, extraído de sangre de búfalos, de diferentes edades, procedentes de siete granjas de la región occidental de Cuba, a los que también se les realizó frotis sanguíneo. Como resultado encontramos que todas las muestras resultaron negativas al frotis sanguíneo. Sin embargo, 94 de ellas (42,1%) resultaron positivas en el nPCR, visualizándose bandas de 298pb. La infección estuvo presente en animales de todas las granjas y de las cuatro categorías estudiadas. Se secuenció el producto del nPCR de una muestra positiva. La secuencia obtenida se... |

| A total of 250 blood samples were collected from clinically healthy cattle in five provinces of Philippines. DNA was extracted from the samples and analyzed by nested PCR assays for an epidemiological survey of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina infections. Out of the 250 samples, 27 (10.8%) and 16 (6.4%) were positive for B. bovis infection and B. bigemina infection, respectively. Mixed infections were detected in a total of 4 samples (1.6%). Our data provide baseline information regarding the epidemiology of B. bovis and B. bigemina infections in cattle in Philippines, which can be utilized in developing proper strategies for disease control and management. |

| Comparou-se o desempenho de um kit de ELISA para detectar anticorpos contra Babesia bovis, em hemoparasita bovino, com o teste de Imunofluorescência Indireta (IFI) usualmente empregado em rotina sorológica. Sobre 97 amostras de soros oriundas de uma região livre de carrapatos e hematozoários, o teste de ELISA demonstrou uma especificidade de 98.9% contra 97.9% do teste de IFI. Ambos os testes apresentaram uma sensibilidade de 100% quando utilizados sobre 22 amostras de soro de bovinos experimentalmente infectados com B. bovis. Os resultados obtidos sobre 1560 amostras colhidas à campo, mostraram uma concordância de 90,1% (1406/1560) entre amostras positivas e negativas, enquanto que 4,2% (66) foram positivas para IFI e negativas para ELISA e 5,6% (88)... |

| A fragment of a novel gene, designated as the BboP67 gene, of Babesia bovis, which had been recently reported as a homolog of the gene encoding a sporozoite-specific P67 antigen of Theileria parva, was isolated from the genomic DNA of B. bovis and expressed as a recombinant (rBboP67) in E. coli. The antigenicity of rBboP67 was evaluated using 102 and 68 field serum samples collected from cattle in Ghana and Mongolia, respectively. All of the B. bovis- and B. bigemina-infected sera, which had been identified by the species-specific antigens, rRAP-1/CTs, for B. bovis and B. bigemina in the standard ELISA, positively reacted with the rBboP67 in ELISA. While B. bovis-infected field serum samples recognized the rBboP67 in Western blot analysis, sera collected... |

| Babesia bovis, an intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite, causes severe clinical disease in cattle worldwide. The genetic diversity of parasite antigens often results in different immune profiles in infected animals, hindering efforts to develop immune control methodologies against the B. bovis infection. In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity of the merozoite surface antigen-1 (msa-1) gene using 162 B. bovis-positive blood DNA samples sourced from cattle populations reared in different geographical regions of Thailand. The identity scores shared among 93 msa-1 gene sequences isolated by PCR amplification were 43.5-100%, and the similarity values among the translated amino acid sequences were 42.8-100%. Of 23 total clades detected in our... |

| The in vitro inhibitory effect of fosmidomycin was evaluated against the asexual growth of bovine Babesia parasites (Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina). In the cultures with these parasites, severe reduction of parasite growth was observed by the addition of 1.25 μg/ml of the final drug concentration. Under these conditions, B. bigemina was completely cleared until the third day of cultivation. On the other hand, B. bovis was completely eliminated on the fourth day when the concentration was 6.25 μg/ml in the culture. These parasites failed to grow again when a drug-free medium was substituted for the subsequent cultivation. The IC50 values of fosmidomycin against B. bovis were determined as 0.88 and 0.63 μg/ml in the in vitro cultures with... |

| Host sialic acid (SA) has recently been suggested to play an important role in erythrocyte (RBC) infection by Babesia spp. The present study attempted to further determine the specific type of SAs important in the RBC invasion. Bovine RBC was found to bear abundant α2-3-linked SA residues but not α2-6-linked SA in nature, confirmed by flow cytometric analysis of the neuraminidase (Nm)-treated RBCs. Lectin-blot analyses revealed the removal of α2-3-linked SAs from the 97-, 33-, and 31-kDa bands by the Nm treatment. Addition of the Nm-treated RBCs into an in vitro culture of B. bovis resulted in a decreased population of the parasitized RBCs. The thin smear samples from the cultures were then observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope after staining... |

| Babesia bovis is a tick-borne pathogen that remains an important constraint for the development of cattle industries in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Effective control can be achieved by vaccination with live attenuated phenotypes of the parasite. However, these phenotypes have a number of drawbacks, which justifies the search for new, more efficient immunogens based mainly on recombinant protein technology. In the present paper, ribosomal phosphoprotein P0 from a Brazilian isolate of B. bovis was produced and evaluated with regard to conservation and antigenicity. The protein sequence displayed high conservation between different Brazilian isolates of B. bovis and several Apicomplexa parasites such as Theileria, Neospora and Toxoplasma.... |
