Resumo: Among the main causes of production losses in cattle is in the tropics infestation by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, and consequently the hemoparasites transmitted by it. The resistance of zebu and crossbred with European breeds to infestation by this mite is widely known. However, as regards susceptibility to bovine babesiosis, there is evidence that genetic group can also interfere in resistance following the same pattern observed in the tick vector, with the taurine presenting greater sensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate parasitaemia by Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina in 50 heifers Canchim (⅝ Charolais + ⅜ Zebu) naturally infested by R. (B.) microplus in four seasons for 24 months, and characterize the profile of cytokines that may be associated with phenotype resistance and susceptibility by gender hemoparasites Babesia spp. Adult female ticks counts with size equal to or greater than 4.5 mm in diameter, present in the left side of each calf were performed. The extracted DNA samples were subjected to amplification by Reaction Polymerase Chain Quantitative Real Time (qPCR), using primers flanking fragments of mitochondrial gene cytochrome B (mt-cyt B) specific for B. bovis and B. bigemina. The RNA extracted from the blood was used to synthesize complementary DNA (cDNA) for expression analysis of genes IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-12B by relative quantification (RT-qPCR). Significant differences were observed (P <0.05) between the months of reviews for the tick count. However, there was no significant effect (P>0.05) in samples taken between november 2013 and january 2014 and between the months january and february 2015. The frequency of parasitaemia in the herd was 98%. Among the samples of DNA that could be quantified by qPCR, 98% and 95.4% were positive for B. bovis and B. bigemina, respectively. Regarding the number of copies (NC) of fragments of genes mt-cyt B, specific to B. bovis and B. bigemina significant effects were observed (P<0.05) for both species and interaction between those harvests in different seasons. Analysis of the mRNA expression level of IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-12B showed that there was a significant effect (P<0.05) interaction between the animal extreme resistance/susceptibility and seasons, except for IL-10. It is concluded that the qPCR has high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of bovine babesiosis in blood samples and that the fluctuation in the parasitic load in the different seasons of the year may be associated with the profile of cytokine expression presented by herd animals Canchim during the experimental period.

A resistência dos zebuínos e de animais cruzados com raças taurinas à infestação por esse ácaro é amplamente conhecida. Entretanto, no que se refere à suscetibilidade às babesioses bovinas, existem evidências de que o grupo genético também pode interferir na resistência, seguindo o mesmo padrão observado para o carrapato vetor, com os taurinos apresentando maior sensibilidade. Assim, este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a parasitemia por Babesia bovis e Babesia bigemina em 50 novilhas da raça Canchim ( Charolês + Zebu) naturalmente infestadas pelo R. (B.) microplus nas quatro estações do ano durante 24 meses, além de caracterizar o perfil de citocinas que podem estar associados ao fenótipo de resistência e suscetibilidade aos hemoparasitas do gênero Babesia spp. Foram realizadas contagens de fêmeas adultas de carrapatos com tamanho igual ou superior a 4,5 mm de diâmetro, presentes no lado esquerdo de cada bovino. As amostras de DNA extraídas foram submetidas à amplificação por meio da Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase Quantitativa em Tempo Real (qPCR), utilizando iniciadores que flanqueiam fragmentos dos genes mitocondriais do citocromo b (mt-cyt B), específicos para B. bovis e B. bigemina. O RNA extraído do sangue, foi usado para sintetizar o DNA complementar (cDNA) para análise de expressão dos genes do IFN- , TNF- , IL-10 e IL-12B por meio da quantificação relativa (RTqPCR). Foram observadas diferenças significativas (P<0,05) entre os meses das avaliações para a contagem de carrapatos. Entretanto, não houve efeito significativo (P>0,05) nas colheitas realizadas entre novembro de 2013 a janeiro de 2014 e entre os meses janeiro e fevereiro de 2015. A frequência da parasitemia no rebanho foi de 98%. Dentre as amostras de DNA que puderam ser quantificadas pela qPCR, 98% e 95,4% foram positivas para B. bovis e B. bigemina, respectivamente. Com relação ao número de cópias (NC) dos fragmentos dos genes mt-cyt B específicos para B. bovis e B. bigemina foram observados efeitos significativos (P<0,05) para ambas as espécies e interação das mesmas com as colheitas realizadas nas diferentes estações do ano. A análise do nível de expressão de mRNA do IFN- , TNF- e IL-12B revelou que houve um efeito siginificativo (P<0,05) da interação entre animais dos extremos de resistência/suscetibilidade e estações do ano, exceto para IL-10. Conclui-se que, a qPCR apresenta alta sensibilidade e especificidade para o diagnóstico das babesioses bovinas em amostras de sangue e que a oscilação na carga parasitária nas diferentes estações do ano pode estar associada com o perfil de expressão de citocinas apresentada.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)FAPESP: 2013/16246-9Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Oliveira, Henrique Nunes [UNESP]Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Bilhassi, Talita Barban [UNESP]2016-04-28T18:47:32Z2016-04-28T18:47:32Z2016-02-29info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/11449/13813100087216833004102030P4porinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Institucional da UNESPinstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESP2024-06-05T18:32:47Zoai:repositorio.unesp.br:11449/138131Repositório InstitucionalPUBhttp://repositorio.unesp.br/oai/requestopendoar:29462024-08-06T00:02:20.914830Repositório Institucional da UNESP - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
