(BioMed Central, 2017-03-17)BACKGROUND : Babesia rossi, which is transmitted by Haemaphysalis spp. and is highly virulent to domestic dogs, occurs only in sub-Saharan Africa. Since dogs are not native to the region, it has been postulated that the ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-04)Despite the importance of disease as a wildlife management challenge in South Africa, baseline data on the epidemiology of pathogens occurring in free-ranging species has received little attention to date. Black-backed ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2010-03-02)Acute phase proteins (APP) are ideal biomarkers for inflammation due to their stability, relative ease of assay and apparent relation between their concentration and the extent of the insult to tissue. C-reactive protein ...
-
(South African Veterinary Association, 2009-06)C-reactive protein (CRP) is a positive major acute-phase protein in dogs and can be used as a predictive marker for risk of disease and to monitor the response to treatment. Increased concentrations in certain diseases are ...
-
(Elsevier, 2019-07)Babesia rossi causes the most severe clinical disease in dogs of all the babesia parasites. We included 320 naturally-infected dogs that presented for care at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital between 2006 and ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2007-05-04)This observational study of 100 dogs naturally infected with Babesia rossi determined whether severity of parasitaemia was associated with outcome of infection and documented the relative distribution of parasitised red ...
-
(Pretoria : University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science, 2017-09-07)Parasite quantification is crucial to understand disease pathogenesis. An automated method of determining parasite density would facilitate higher throughput and provide results that are more objective. The study objectives ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2021-04)Experimental protozoal infections can provide novel insights into the host’s response before presentation to the veterinarian. The aim of this study was to track endocrine variables longitudinally in an experimental Babesia ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2020-04)For most of the 20th century the causative agent of canine babesiosis, wherever it occurred in the world, was commonly referred to as Babesia canis. Early research, from the 1890s to the 1930s, had shown that there were ...
-
(Public Library of Science, 2015-03-08)Babesia rossi infection causes a severe inflammatory response in the dog, which is the result of the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine secretion. The aim of this study was to determine whether changes ...
-
(BMC, 2021-08-16)BACKGROUND : Babesia rossi is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among the canine population of sub- Saharan Africa, but pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Previous studies of B. rossi infection were derived ...
-
(Pretoria : University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science, 2014)Sessions: 1. Piscivory does not cause pansteatitis (yellow fat disease) in Oreochromis mossambicus from an African sub-tropical reservoir / J Dabrowski-- 2. Comparison of electrical stunning with manual capture in farmed ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2021-03)Background: Babesia rossi, the most virulent canine Babesia parasite, causes severe clinical disease and death in dogs in sub-Saharan Africa. Complications and multiple organ dysfunction seen with babesiosis are likely ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-06)Babesia rossi causes severe morbidity and mortality in dogs in sub-Saharan Africa, and the complications associated with this disease are likely caused by an unfocused, excessive inflammatory response. During this experimental ...
-
Long-term follow-up of owned, free-roaming dogs in South Africa naturally exposed to Babesia rossi (Elsevier, 2020-02)Babesia rossi is an important, tick-borne intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite; however, its natural history and epidemiology is poorly understood. Babesia rossi is the most virulent Babesia sp. in domestic dogs and is ...
-
(Elsevier, 2013-05)The inflammatory response to infection can activate the coagulation system via complex interactions. If uncontrolled, this may lead to a consumptive coagulopathy, which has been identified as a major risk factor for poor ...
-
(Journal of the South African Veterinary Association, 2010)Theileria parva, the most important bovine theilerial species in sub-Saharan Africa, causes widespread mortality and morbidity in endemic areas. A survey was conducted using buffy-coat specimens from 60 apparently healthy ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2014-03-24)BACKGROUND: Canine babesiosis caused by Babesia rossi, transmitted by Haemaphysalis elliptica in South Africa, has also been reported from Nigeria. Although H. leachi (sensu lato) is widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, ...
-
(Wiley, 2020-05)To provide useful information based on the macropathology, histopathology and immunohistochemical investigation in the spleens of dogs with Babesia rossi infection. Control spleens were collected from four healthy dogs ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2020)Despite haemolytic anaemia being the main consequence of Babesia rossi infection in dogs, the bone marrow response has been reported to be mild in the face of severe anaemia. A similar finding has been described in ...
