Another African disease in Central Europa: Besnoitiosis of cattle. I. Light and electron microscopical study

TLDR
This study proves the arrival of another serious agent of disease of ruminants in Central Europe—a fact which is especially important, since in this species, there is neither information on the way of transmission from animal to animal nor exists concrete information on an efficacious therapy or on the modalities of its import into Germany.

[Dermacentor reticulatus (Fabricius, 1794)--distribution, biology and vector for Babesia canis in Germany].

TLDR
It is reported here about a case of autochthonous babesiosis in a dog from Berlin/Brandenburg, and D. reticulatus is a vector for Babesia canis canis.

Hammondia heydorni-like oocysts shed by a naturally infected dog and Neospora caninum NC-1 cannot be distinguished

TLDR
Transmission experiments using Hammondia heydorni-like oocysts isolated in 1996 from a naturally infected dog indicate that feeding of any tissues of potential intermediate hosts to final hosts may induce the shedding of oocyst shedding and thus pose a risk for post-natal infection of cattle.

Sarcocystis calchasi sp. nov. of the domestic pigeon (Columba livia f. domestica) and the Northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis): light and electron microscopical characteristics

TLDR
The morphological findings, when combined with data of experimental infection and genetic studies, convergently indicate that the recently discovered Sarcocystis species represents a new species, and it is proposed to name this parasite Sarcocrystis calchasi species nova.

In contrast to dogs, red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) did not shed Neospora caninum upon feeding of intermediate host tissues

TLDR
The results suggest that the red fox is either an inappropriate final host for N. caninum or not at all a finalhost for this parasite.

Besnoitia besnoiti: Studies on the definitive host and experimental infections in cattle

Domestic cats, 11 other species of carnivorous mammals, 6 species of snakes, and whitebacked vultures were tested for their possible role as definitive hosts ofBenoitia besnoiti by feeding with…

Effects of toltrazuril and ponazuril on the fine structure and multiplication of tachyzoites of the NC-1 strain of Neospora caninum (a synonym of Hammondia heydorni) in cell cultures

TLDR
Rhesus monkey kidney cell cultures were used to propagate tachyzoites of the NC-1 strain of Neospora caninum, and the initial damage occurred within the apicoplast and the tubular mitochondrion in all cases,thus destroying two of the most important cell organelles.
