Occurrence of < em > Dermacentor reticulatus < /em > in central-southern Poland, and potential threats to human and animal health
CONCLUSIONS: The results expand the available data on the spread of the ornate dog tick and indicate that, since 2010, this tick species and Rickettsia raoultii transmitted by this tick species have probably been present in this area, which has a strongly transformed agricultural structure and and had previously been regarded as a D. reticulatus-free zone. The presence of the ornate dog tick in urban and suburban habitats in central-southern Poland poses new threats to the health of companion animals and humans associated with the transmission of pathogens by this species.PMID:38549474 | DOI:10.26444/aaem/178401 (Source: A...

Inhibition of malaria and babesiosis parasites by putative red blood cell targeting small molecules
ConclusionsWe report here characterization of small molecules for antiproliferative and host cell-targeting activity for malaria and babesiosis parasites. This resource is relevant for assessment of physiological RBC-parasite interactions and may inform drug development and repurposing efforts. (Source: Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology)

A case of transfusion-transmission Anaplasma phagocytophilum from leukoreduced red blood cells
CONCLUSION: This is a confirmed case of TT-HGA. Although rare, TT-HGA has been reported with LR-RBCs and platelets. In endemic areas, testing for tick-borne associated infections should be considered when investigating post-transfusion complications.PMID:38491925 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17783 (Source: Transfusion)

Absence of Anti- < i > Babesia microti < /i > antibody in commercial intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)
ConclusionsCommercially available IVIG may not be of therapeutic benefit for babesiosis patients. Additional sampling of IVIG for B. microti antibody and a clinical trial of babesiosis patients given IVIG compared with controls would provide further insight into the use of IVIG for the treatment of babesiosis.

Medicinal Plants Used by Oromo Community in Kofale District, West-Arsi Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia
CONCLUSION: This study indicated the richness of medicinal plant species in Kofale District. Medicinal plants with the highest FL and ROP values and those used to treat disease categories with the highest ICF values should be prioritized in future phytochemical and pharmacological investigations.PMID:38476311 | PMC:PMC10929209 | DOI:10.2147/JEP.S449496 (Source: Cancer Control)

Seasonal dynamics and genetic characterization of bovine arthropod-borne parasites in Nan Province, Thailand with molecular identification of Anaplasma platys and Trypanosoma theileri
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2024 Mar 2;107:102156. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2024.102156. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVirulent species or strains of hematophagous borne pathogens such as Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., Theileria spp., and Trypanosoma spp., are lethal to susceptible animals or reduce their productivity on a global scale. Nonetheless, efforts to diagnose the causative agents and assess the genotypic profiles as well as quantify the parasite burden of aforementioned parasites across seasons remain limited. Therefore, the present investigation sought to elucidate the genotypic composition of Anaplasma spp., ...

Assessment of Babesia spp. prevalence in various domestic animals across Southern Punjab, Pakistan
This study, conducted in Southern Punjab, Pakistan, aimed to assess the prevalence of Babesia spp. across various livestock species using microscopic and PCR methods. A total of 180 blood samples (60 from each district) were systematically collected from apparently healthy animals, with 36 samples obtained from each domestic animal species, including camel, cattle, buffalo, goat, and sheep, noting that 12 samples were collected from each district for each animal species. Overall prevalence was determined to be 32.8% (59/180), with varying rates among species: 25.0% in cattle, 41.66% in buffalo, 30.55% in goats, 33.3% in sh...
