Sporogony and experimental transmission of Babesia equi by Boophilus microplus

Abstract: The development of Babesia equi in salivary glands of adult female Boophilus microplus was observed under a light microscope using semithin sections stained with toluidine blue. Engorged nymphs were obtained from splenectomized foals experimentally infected with B. equi. As adults, they were then fed on rabbits for 5 days and the salivary glands of manually collected individuals were removed at intervals of 24 h. Sporozoites were found in type III granular acini cells between the 2nd and 5th days following fee… Show more

“…In the case of A. cajennense, a high level of infestation was statistically associated (P < 0.05) with more than 30% of horses positive for T. equi on the farms (Table 4). Guimarães et al (1998) showed, under experimental conditions, that R. (B.)…”

“…Studies have shown that three major tick species infest horses in Brazil: Dermacentor nitens (= Anocentor nitens), Amblyomma cajennense, and Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (FALCE, 1986;BARBOSA et al, 1995;HEUCHERT et al, 1999;LABRUNA et al, 2001;COSTA PEREIRA et al, 2005 (GUIMARÃES et al, 1998;STILLER et al, 2002;UETI et al, 2005;2008). In fact, T. equi-infected horses have been reported in areas where R.…”

“…Este trabalho avalia, por meio de infestações experimentais, aspectos ainda não descritos da biologia parasitária de R. microplus em equinos, que podem auxiliar no melhor entendimento dessa relação parasito-hospedeiro, no que diz respeito à biologia e até mesmo na importância dessa espécie de ixodídeo na transmissão de agentes patogênicos para equinos, tal como Theileria equi, conforme GUIMARÃES et al (1998) e UETI et al (2005.…”

“…This agent is biologically transmitted by ixodid ticks (THOMPSON, 1969). In Brazil, T. equi is transmitted transstadially and intrastadially by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (GUIMARÃES et al, 1998;UETI et al, 2005UETI et al, , 2008. Theileria equi can also be transmitted iatrogenically through infected blood (TENTER;FRIEDHOFF, 1986), transplacentally (ALLSOPP et al, 2007) and congenitally (SANTOS et al, 2008).…”
