(Barend Johannes); Lopez, Job E. (Nature Research, 2022-11-11)The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) has proven to be important for the taxonomy, systematics, and population genetics of ticks. However, current methods to generate mitogenomes can be costprohibitive at scale. To address ...

Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); De Castro, Minique H.; Pienaar, Ronel; De Klerk, Daniel; Gaven, Philasande; Genu, Siyamcela; Latif, Abdalla A. (Elsevier, 2016-06)Ancestral reconstruction in its fullest sense aims to describe the complete evolutionary history of a lineage. This depends on accurate phylogenies and an understanding of the key characters of each parental lineage. An ...

Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); Pienaar, Ronel; Latif, Abdalla A.; Potgieter, Fred T. (Cambridge University Press, 2011)Sequence variation within the 18S SSU rRNA V4 hyper-variable region can affect the accuracy of real-time hybridization probe-based diagnostics for the detection of Theileria spp. infections. This is relevant for assays ...

Pienaar, Ronel; Latif, Abdalla A.; Thekisoe, Oriel M.M.; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Cambridge University Press, 2014)Strict control measures apply to movement of buffalo in South Africa including testing for Theileria parva, the causative agent of Corridor disease in cattle. The official test is a real-time hybridization PCR assay that ...

Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes); De Klerk, Daniel G.; Pienaar, Ronel; Latif, Abdalla A. (Springer, 2014)Nuttalliella namaqua has been described as a “living fossil” and the closest extant species to the ancestral tick lineage. It was previously proposed that the Nuttalliella lineage parasitized reptile-like mammals in the ...

Pienaar, Ronel; Josemans, Antoinette; Latif, Abdalla A.; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Cambridge University Press, 2020)Tick-borne diseases caused by Theileria are of economic importance in domestic and wildlife ruminants. The majority of Theileria infects a limited number of host species, supporting the concept of host specificity. However, ...

Pienaar, Ronel; Potgieter, Fred T.; Latif, Abdalla A.; Thekisoe, Oriel M.M.; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Cambridge University Press, 2011-09-09)Corridor disease is an acute, fatal disease of cattle caused by buffalo-adapted Theileria parva. This is a nationally controlled disease in South Africa and strict control measures apply for the movement of buffalo, which ...

Bakkes, Deon K.; De Klerk, Daniel G.; Latif, Abdalla A.; Mans, Ben J. (Barend Johannes) (Elsevier, 2018-05)Afrotropical Ornithodoros (Ornithodoros) ticks are revised based on qualitative morphology of females and nymphs, as well as tarsus I shape outlines of females measured in a geometric morphometric framework. These lines ...
