原生动物Babesia是一种由硬蜱传播的血液寄生虫,通常寄生于牛等反刍动物,水牛,山羊,和羊。巴贝斯病,由巴贝虫感染引起的疾病,由于其带来的严重和巨大的影响,被认为是对反刍动物生产的潜在威胁。东南亚(SEA)约有1.25亿只反刍动物面临巴贝斯虫病的风险,一个由11个国家组成的地区。近几十年来,基于分子的诊断平台,如聚合酶链反应(PCR)测定,一直是巴贝虫检测中可靠和广泛使用的工具。在这篇文章中,作者汇编并总结了对反刍动物巴贝斯虫病进行的分子研究,并绘制了物种图,包括B.Bovis,B.bigemina,B.Ovata,巴贝西亚。Mymensingh,巴贝西亚。色调,还有B.Ovis,并确定了反刍动物在SEA中的寄主多样性。
The protozoon Babesia is a blood parasite transmitted by hard ticks and commonly parasitizes ruminants such as cattle, buffaloes, goats, and sheep. Babesiosis, the disease caused by Babesia infection, has been considered a potential threat to ruminant production due to the grave and enormous impact it brings. About 125 million ruminants are at risk of babesiosis in Southeast Asia (SEA), a region composed of 11 countries. In recent decades, molecular-based diagnostic platforms, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, have been a reliable and broadly employed tool in Babesia detection. In this article, the authors compiled and summarized the molecular studies conducted on ruminant babesiosis and mapped the species, including B. bovis, B. bigemina, B. ovata, Babesia sp. Mymensingh, Babesia sp. Hue, and B. ovis, and determined the host diversity of ruminant Babesia in SEA.
