piroplasm การใช้

• The Haemosporidia are related to the gregarines and the piroplasms and coccidians are sister groups.
• Morrison has shown using molecular data that the Haemosporidia are nested within the gregarines and that this clade is distinct from the piroplasms.
• Unlike the other piroplasms investigated, the piroplasm is " in a distinct phylogenetic clade, closely related to babesial isolates from wildlife and humans from the Western US ".
• Unlike the other piroplasms investigated, the piroplasm is " in a distinct phylogenetic clade, closely related to babesial isolates from wildlife and humans from the Western US ".
• Additionally, the piroplasm is spread by tick bites ( " Ixodes scapularis ", the same tick that spreads Lyme disease ), while the malaria protozoans are spread via mosquito.
• When cats survive infection they have persistent parasitemia which shows up in the blood as piroplasms, but these cats do not have the tissue phase again and therefore do not again show the clinical illness.
• This is made by serial infection of calves to attenuate the virulence of the strain of " Babesia ", followed by splenectomy to produce many of the piroplasm stage in blood, which is then bottled for use.
• The erythrocytic disease is not as important for clinical disease but is often used to diagnose " C . felis " because you can see piroplasms ( erythrocytes that have phagocytized merozoites ) on a peripheral blood smear under the microscope.
• Her work has continued and expanded to include research on " Giardia ", " Neospora " and piroplasms and she has received grants from the Australian Research Council as well as other organizations to evaluate parasitic impact on the water supply and public health.
