Cloning and characterization of peroxiredoxin in Babesia bovis
Parasitology Research, 2009We have identified the 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prx) from a bovine Babesia parasite, B. bovis. Prx is a recently described family of antioxidant enzymes that are highly conserved in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. B. bovis 2-Cys Prx (BbTPx-1) contained two conserved cysteine residues that corresponded to Cys47 and Cys170 of the yeast Prx and the amino acid ...

Babesiosis (Babesia bovis) Stability in Unstable Environments
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000Abstract: Enzootic stability (herd immunity) in bovine babesiosis occurs when the rate of transmission (inoculation rate) of Babesia spp by the tick vector is sufficient to immunize a majority of susceptible calves before the loss of calfhood resistance. The effect of three tick (Boophilus microplus) control strategies (none, threshold, and strategic)

Biochemical characterization of thioredoxin reductase from Babesia bovis
Biochimie, 2014This paper addresses the identification, cloning, expression, purification and functional characterization of thioredoxin reductase from Babesia bovis, the etiological agent of babesiosis. The work deals with in vitro steady state kinetic studies and other complementary analyses of the thioredoxin reductase found in the pathogenic protist.

Attenuation of Babesia bovis by in vitro cultivation
Veterinary Parasitology, 1987A virulent strain of Babesia bovis was adapted to grow in erythrocyte culture in the presence of equine serum and in lieu of bovine serum. Four splenectomized calves inoculated with the adapted strain, 429, developed hematologic signs of infection and a low grade fever, but remained free of central nervous system (CNS) signs and recovered.

Enzymatic characterization of Babesia bovis.
The Journal of protozoology, 1987Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to identify metabolic enzymes in Babesia bovis and B. bigemina. Glutamate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose phosphate isomerase, and hexokinase were identified in B. bovis- and B. bigemina-infected erythrocytes and B. bovis merozoite preparations. A specific electrophoretic mobility was observed for each

Immunopathophysiology of Babesia bovis and Plasmodium falciparum infections
Parasitology Today, 1988Babesia bovis and Plasmodium falciparum are both vector-borne parasites primarily infecting the erythrocytes of their respective hosts. They have obvious differences, yet the diseases caused by these parasites share many common features. Both have generated a considerable body of research but, perhaps because of the classical distinction between ...

Increased glucose permeability in Babesia bovis-infected erythrocytes
International Journal for Parasitology, 1990Glucose influx into bovine erythrocytes was found to be significantly increased upon infection with the parasite, Babesia bovis. The influx of glucose into the infected cells over 4 min was not saturable at high concentrations of glucose (240 mM), nor was it affected by established inhibitors of mammalian glucose transport, such as cytochalasin B and ...

Growth of Babesia Bovis in Bovine Erythrocyte Cultures
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1978Babesia bovis was cultured in a suspension of bovine erythrocytes incubated at 37 degrees C in Medium 199 with 50% bovine serum. The cells in culture were kept in suspension by slow stirring in spinner flasks and the medium was replaced at 24-hour intervals.

Serological survey of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina in cattle in South Africa
Veterinary Parasitology, 2011A total of 719 serum samples collected from clinically healthy cattle from eight provinces located in different districts of South Africa were examined by the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the standard indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) to determine the serological prevalence of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina.
