We are thrilled to have this new paper out. BKI-1748 keeps proving really promising in preventing congenital transmission in pregnant sheep, this time even when the drug was administered 2 weeks after infection, a much more realistic scenario.

We tested a novel inactivated vaccine in a pregnant sheep model, using an antigen extract from a low passage Type III isolate (TgPigSp1) adjuvanted with Quil-A. Our results show a significant increase in viable gestations thus providing a potential future tool to mitigate economic losses in sheep due to Toxoplasma infections. Check out more here

Check out our new paper on Neospora NcROP24, a funny protein encoded by 3 paralog genes. A defective KO produces changes in macrophages and both reduced vertical transmission and neonatal mortality in a pregnant mouse model. Great work by the recently appointed Dr. Rafael Amieva. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpara.2026.104770
