Babesia bovis host cell recognition proteins

International Journal for Parasitology, 1991
Babesia bovis enters host erythrocytes by invagination but nothing is known of the proteins involved. By means of metabolic labelling, differential centrifugation in oil and salt elution, a number of babesial proteins have been shown to bind to bovine erythrocytes. Strong binding is evidenced only by a 38/19 kDa pair.

Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina, Babesia canis, Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini: Comparison of ribosomal RNA gene organization

International Journal for Parasitology, 1992
The three ribosomal DNA (rDNA) units have been cloned from an Australian isolate of Babesia bigemina. The organization of the units is very similar to that reported for a Mexican isolate of B. bigemina. In Babesia canis four rDNA units have been identified. Both Babesia rodhaini and Babesia microti contain two different rDNA units.

A putative RNA virus in Babesia bovis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1991
Babesia bovis is an intraerythrocytic protozoan that causes bovine babesiosis. Agarose gel electrophoresis of nucleic acids extracted from two isolates of B. bovis reveals, besides bulk DNA, an ethidium bromide-stainable band at about 5.5 kb. Further characterization of the latter with DNase I, RNase and mung bean nuclease suggested it to be a double ...

The toxicity of antifolates in Babesia bovis

International Journal for Parasitology, 1993
A variety of anti-folate compounds have been tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of Babesia bovis as measured by the incorporation of [3H]hypoxanthine into the parasite's nucleic acids. Inhibitors of folate synthesis (including 7-methylguanosine and several sulpha drugs) were without effect but several structural analogues of folate were ...

Transient transfection of purified Babesia bovis merozoites

Experimental Parasitology, 2008
Transient transfection of intraerythrocytic Babesia bovis parasites has been previously reported. In this study, we describe the development and optimization of methods for transfection of purified B. bovis merozoites using either nucleofection (Amaxa) or conventional electroporation (Gene Pulser II, BioRad).

Continuous In Vitro Cultivation of Babesia bovis

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1980
SUMMARY Babesia bovis was isolated from an experimentally infected calf (No. 1) and was maintained in vitro for 32 days by subculturing 14 times, using a total dilution of 192,000. A splenectomized calf was inoculated with subculture Babesia (isolate B).

DNA polymorphisms and subpopulations in Babesia bovis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1984
Independent isolates of Babesia bovis differ by only a limited number of polypeptides, some of which may be important as host protective antigens. Avirulent derivatives of these parasites also differ from their virulent counterparts in only a few polypeptides.

Serosurvey of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina in cattle in Mongolia

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2018
Mongolia is an agriculturally rich country with large livestock populations that contribute significantly to its national economy. However, the export market for live animals and livestock products is often constrained for various reasons including infectious diseases. Babesia bovis and B.

Protein phosphorylation by intact Babesia bovis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1984
Babesia bovis rapidly incorporated [32P]orthophosphate into more than 30 polypeptide chains, the majority of which appeared to be membrane or particle bound. Phosphorylation occurred more rapidly in free parasites than in parasitized erythrocytes, suggesting the acceptor polypeptides were either babesial in origin or erythrocyte proteins were ...
