AI Article Synopsis
- - Babesia venatorum is a zoonotic parasite mainly affecting wild deer, and it's becoming more important in studies.
- - Researchers in the UK found that the genetic sequences of Babesia in domestic sheep are identical to those of zoonotic B. venatorum.
- - The detection of this parasite in livestock poses potential public health risks and could impact farming policies in Europe.
Article Abstract
Babesia venatorum is an increasingly prominent zoonotic parasite that predominantly infects wild deer. Our molecular examination of Babesia infecting mammals in the United Kingdom identified 18S sequences in domestic sheep isolates identical to zoonotic B. venatorum. Identification of this parasite in livestock raises concerns for public health and farming policy in Europe.
