Stable transformation of Babesia bigemina and Babesia bovis using a single transfection plasmid. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractBabesia bigeminaandBabesia bovis, are the two major causes of bovine babesiosis, a global neglected disease in need of improved methods of control. Here, we describe a shared method for the stable transfection of these two parasites using electroporation and blasticidin/blasticidin deaminase as a selectable marker.
