(Wiley-Blackwell, 2021-06-09)
The objectives of this study were to provide the buffalo research community with an updated SNP map for the Axiom Buffalo Genotyping (ABG) array with genomic positions for SNP currently unmapped and to map all cattle QTL ...
Molecular and serological prevalence of Anaplasma marginale in water buffaloes in northern Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-01-01)
Bovine anaplasmosis, caused by Anaplasma marginale, occurs in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world and is a major constraint on cattle production in many countries. Approximately 60% of the buffalo herds ...
High co-infection rates of Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina, and Anaplasma marginale in water buffalo in Western Cuba
(Springer, 2019-03-01)
Water buffalo is important livestock in several countries in the Latin American and Caribbean regions. This buffalo species can be infected by tick-borne hemoparasites and remains a carrier of these pathogens which represent ...
Water Buffalo Genome Science Comes of Age
(Ivyspring Int Publ, 2010-01-01)
The water buffalo is vital to the lives of small farmers and to the economy of many countries worldwide. Not only are they draught animals, but they are also a source of meat, horns, skin and particularly the rich and ...
Molecular and serological prevalence of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina in water buffaloes in the north region of Brazil
(2013-10-08)
Bovine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused mainly by Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina, which are associated to considerable economic losses in cattle herds worldwide. Approximately 60% of buffalo herds in South ...
First molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium spp. infecting buffalo calves in Brazil
(2015)
With the aim of determining the occurrence of Cryptosporidium spp., 222 fecal samples were collected from Murrah buffalo calves aged up to 6 mo. Fecal DNA was genotyped with a nested polymerase chain reaction targeting the ...
