Molecular detection and characterisation of potentially new Babesia and Theileria species/variants in wild felids from Kenya
Piroplasms frequently infect domestic and wild carnivores. At present, there is limited information on the occurrence and molecular identity of these tick-borne parasites in wild felids in Kenya. In 2009, a pair of captive lions (Panthare leo) was diagnosed with suspected babesiosis and mineral defi...
