A. ovis infects erythrocytes of sheep and goats, inducing clinical signs that include haemolytic anaemia, icterus ... -
First-time detection of bovine viral diarrhoea virus, BVDV-1, in cattle in Botswana
Berg, Mikael; Ramabu, Solomon Stephen; Lysholm, Sara (AOSIS [Commercial Publisher], 2019-01-01)Infectious diseases are serious constraints for improving livestock productivity. Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) is a virus causing grave economic losses throughout the cattle producing world. Infection is often not ... -
Identification of Anaplasma marginale proteins specifically upregulated during colonization of the tick vector
Ramabu, Solomon Stephen; Ueti, Massaro W.; Brayton, Kelly A.; Baszler, Timothy V.; Palmer, Guy H. (American Society for Microbiology, 2010-07-10)The transition between infection of the mammalian host and colonization of an arthropod vector is required for the ongoing transmission of a broad array of pathogens, from viruses to protozoa. Understanding how this ... -

xpression of Anaplasma marginale Ankyrin Repeat-Containing Proteins during Infection of the Mammalian Host and Tick Vector
Ramabu, Solomon Stephen; Schneider, David A.; Brayton, Kelly A.; Ueti, Massaro W.; Grac¸a, Telmo; Futse, James E.; Noh, Susan M.; Baszler, Timothy V.; Palmer, Guy H. (American Society for Microbiology, 2011)Transmission of tick-borne pathogens requires transition between distinct host environments with infection and replication in host-specific cell types. Anaplasma marginale illustrates this transition: in the mammalian host, ...
