    • Babesia gibsoni: identification, expression, localization, and serological characterization of a Babesia gibsoni 22-kDa protein 

      Goo, YK; Jia, H; Terkawi, MA; Aboge, GO; Yamagishi, J; Nishikawa, Y; Kim, S; Jang, HK; Fujisaki, K; Xuan, X (2009)
      Babesia gibsoni causes canine babesiosis. Here, we describe the identification and characterization of a novel gene, BgP22, containing an open reading frame of 621bp and encoding a 22-kDa protein from B. gibsoni, as a ...

    • Characterization of a leucine aminopeptidase of Babesia gibsoni 

      Jia, H; Terkawi, M. A; Aboge, G. O; Goo, Y.K; Luo, Y; Li, Y; Yamagishi, J; Nishikawa, Y; Igarashi, I; Sugimoto, C; Fujisaki, K; Xuan, X (2009)
      Peptidases of parasitic protozoa are currently under intense investigation in order to identify novel virulence factors, drug targets, and vaccine candidates, except in Babesia. Leucine aminopeptidases in protozoa, such ...

    • Epidemiological Survey of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina Infections of Cattle in Philippines 

      Yu, L; Terkawi, MA; Cruz-Flores, MJ; Claveria, FG; Aboge, GO; Yamagishi, J; Goo, YK; Cao, S; Masatani, T; Nishikawa, Y; Xuan, X (2013)
      A total of 250 blood samples were collected from clinically healthy cattle in five provinces of Philippines. DNA was extracted from the samples and analyzed by nested PCR assays for an epidemiological survey of Babesia ...

    • Identification of an immunodominant Babesia gibsoni 47-kDa antigen 

      Goo, Y-K; Jia, H; Aboge, G O; Terkawi, M A; Yamagishi, J; Nishikawa, Y; Igarashi, I; Xuan, X (Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2009)
      The inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase(IMPDH )enzyme has been characterized and validate dasa molecular drug target in other apicomplexans butnot in the genus Babesia. Subsequently,we cloned and expressed a Babesia ...

    • Molecular and immunological characterization of Babesia gibsoni 

      Terkawi, M Alaa; Aboge, G; Jia, H; Goo, Y-K; Ooka, H; Yamagishi, J; Nishikawa, Y; Yokoyama, N; Igarashi, I; Kawazu, S-I; Fujisaki, K; Xuan, X (Department of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2009)
      Serological immune screening was used to identify a gene encoding heat shock protein-70 from Babesia gibsoni (BgHSP-70) that showed high homology with HSP-70s from other apicomplexan parasites. This gene corresponded to a ...

    • Molecularand immunological characterization of Babesia gibsoni and Babesia microti heat shockprotein-70 

      Terkawi, M A; Jia, H J; Goo, Y-K; Ooka, H; Yamagishi, J; Nishikawa, Y.; Igarashi, I; Fujisaki, K; Xuan, X (Department of Public Health Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2009)
      Serological immunoscreening was used to identify a gene encoding heat shock protein-70 from Babesia gibsoni (BgHSP-70) that showed high homology with HSP-70s from other apicomplexan parasites. This gene corresponded to ...

    • TgGRA23, a novel Toxoplasma gondii dense granule protein associated with the parasitophorous vacuole membrane and intravacuolar network 

      Masatani, T; Matsuo, T; Tanaka, T; Terkawi, MA; Lee, EG; Goo, YK; Aboge, GO; Yamagishi, J; Hayashi, K; Kameyama, K; Cao, S; Nishikawa, Y; Xuan, X (2013)
      Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite, which relies on a specialized compartment, the parasitophorous vacuole (PV), to survive within host cells. Dense granules within the parasite release a large variety ...
