Obligate intracellular malaria parasites reside within a vacuolar compartment generated
during invasion which is the principal interface between pathogen and host. To subvert their …

Babesia are tick-borne protozoan parasites that can infect livestock, pets, wildlife animals,
and humans. In the mammalian host, they invade and multiply within red blood cells (RBCs) …

Background Babesia caballi is an intraerythrocytic parasite from the phylum Apicomplexa,
capable of infecting equids and causing equine piroplasmosis. However, since there is …

Babesia is a genus of apicomplexan parasites that infect red blood cells in vertebrate hosts.
Pathology occurs during rapid replication cycles in the asexual blood stage of infection …

Protozoan parasites acquire essential ions, nutrients, and other solutes from their insect and
vertebrate hosts by transmembrane uptake. For intracellular stages, these solutes must …

Babesia bovis, an apicomplexan intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite, causes serious
economic loss to cattle industries around the world. Infection with this parasite leads to …

Apicomplexan genomes encode multiple pepsin-family aspartyl proteases (APs) that
phylogenetically cluster to six independent clades (A to F). Such diversification has been …

Development of in vitro culture and completion of genome sequencing of several Babesia
parasites promoted the efforts to establish transfection systems for these parasites to dissect …

Babesia parasite invades exclusively red blood cell (RBC) in mammalian host and induces
alterations to host cell for survival. Despite the importance of Babesia in livestock industry …

Ovine babesiosis, caused by Babesia ovis, is an acute, lethal, and endemic disease
