Establishment of an Artificial Tick Feeding System to Study Theileria lestoquardi Infection
The establishment of good experimental models for Theileria sp. infection is important for theileriosis research. Routinely, infection of ticks is accomplished by feeding on parasite-infected animals (sheep, cows and horses), which raises practical and ethical problems, driving the search for alternative methods of tick infection. Artificial tick feeding systems are based mainly on rearing tick...

It has been reported to infect lymphocytes in vivo and in vitro and the schizonts differentiate into macro-schizonts and micro-schizonts. To date, little is known about the mechanisms involved in the ...
متن کاملMolecular detection, infection rate and vectors of Theileria lestoquardi in goats from West Azerbaijan province, Iran
This study was aimed to determine the infection rate and vectors of Theileria lestoquardi in goats from West Azerbaijan province, Iran. A total of 400 blood samples were collected from 40 randomly selected flocks in the study area from June to September, 2014. Out of 400 blood samples examined using microscopic examination, a number of 14 goats (3.50%) were positive for Theileria</...
متن کاملSurvey of Theileria lestoquardi antibodies among Sudanese sheep.
The prevalence of Theileria lestoquardi antibodies in Sudanese sheep from nine geographical areas in Sudan was determined using indirect fluorescent antibody "IFA" test. Out of 315 samples examined, 51 (16.2%) were found positive and ranged between 23.4% in River Nile State and 10% in Kasala and Darfour Provinces with an overall prevalence of 16.2% indicating widespread distribution of the infe...
