Evaluating Antimalarial Proteasome Inhibitors for Efficacy in <i>Babesia</i> Blood Stage Cultures Open
Tick-transmitted Babesia are a major global veterinary threat and an emerging risk to humans. Unlike their Plasmodium relatives, these erythrocyte-infecting Apicomplexa have been largely overlooked and lack specific treatment. Selective ta…

Bovine Immune Factors Underlying Tick Resistance: Integration and Future Directions Open
The mechanisms underlying tick resistance within and between cattle breeds have been studied for decades. Several previous papers on bovine immune parameters contributing to tick resistance discussed findings across DNA, RNA, protein, cell…
