Caracterização histoquímica no diagnóstico da babesiose bovina por Babesia bovis

Resultados da utilização rotineira de catéteres 4 F no cateterismo diagnóstico num laboratório de hemodinâmica [ 106 ]

Introdução: As complicações do local de acesso vascular constituem os efeitos adversos mais comuns associados à cateterização cardíaca. O uso de catéteres de pequeno diâmetro pode reduzir este risco e permitir deambulação mais precoce, sendo a sua principal limitação, segundo alguns autores, a qualidade inferior da imagem. O objectivo do nosso estudo foi o de avaliar a segurança e a qualidade d...

Immune control of Babesia bovis infection.

Babesia bovis causes an acute and often fatal infection in adult cattle, which if resolved, leads to a state of persistent infection in otherwise clinically healthy cattle. Persistently infected cattle are generally resistant to reinfection with related parasite strains, and this resistance in the face of infection is termed concomitant immunity. Young animals are generally more resistant than ...

Transient transfection of purified Babesia bovis merozoites.

Transient transfection of intraerythrocytic Babesia bovis parasites has been previously reported. In this study, we describe the development and optimization of methods for transfection of purified B. bovis merozoites using either nucleofection (Amaxa) or conventional electroporation (Gene Pulser II, BioRad). Initially, the optimal buffer ("Plasmodium 88A6") and program (v-24) for nucleofection...

An outbreak of Babesia bovis infection in cattle and its control

Molecular Detection of Babesia bigemina and Babesia bovis in Crossbred Carrier Cattle Through PCR

Bovine babesiosis and other tick borne diseases are considered responsible for more than 50% losses in the crossbred cattle. Carrier cattle infected with babesiosis are challenge to current diagnostic methods and are difficult to detect because of the low number of parasites in circulation. However, diagnosis of carrier animals in herd is important for preventing outbreaks by transmission throu...
