Optimization of Babesia bovis transfection methods.

Parassitologia, 2007
The tick borne Babesia parasites remain an important limitation for development of cattle industries worldwide. A stable transfection of Babesia bovis will be useful for functional analysis of the recently sequenced B. bovis genome and to design improved methods to control Babesia infections.

Serological responses to Babesia bovis vaccination in cattle previously infected with Babesia bigemina

Veterinary Parasitology, 2010
Serological responses of field cattle (260) on a farm in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa were determined before and after vaccination with the commercial Babesia bovis live-blood vaccine, using the indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT). All the cattle tested negative for B.

Search for Babesia bovis vaccine candidates.

Parassitologia, 2007
Babesia bovis is a tick-borne apicomplexan pathogen that remains an important constrain for the development of cattle industries worldwide. Effective control can be achieved by vaccination with live attenuated forms of the parasite, but they have several drawbacks and thus the development of alternative subunit vaccines, either based in recombinant ...

Understanding the biology of Babesia bovis

2017
Bovine babesiosis caused by the protozoan parasite Babesia bovis remains a significant cause of avoidable economic loss to the livestock industry in many countries, including Australia. The precise mechanisms by which this parasite causes severe disease in susceptible cattle are not well understood, however, it is clear that pathophysiologically ...

THE ENZYMES OF PYRIMIDINE BIOSYNTHESIS IN BABESIA BOVIS AND BABESIA BIGEMINA

Australian Journal of Experimental Biology and Medical Science, 1983
SummaryAll six enzymes of de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis leading to the formation of UMP have been demonstrated in whole homogenates from two bovine Babesia species, B. bovis and B. bigemina. The specific activities of the respective enzymes were of the same order of magnitude as observed for the related parasite, Plasmodium berghei.

Detection and quantification of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina using different target genes

Research in Veterinary Science
Molecular assays have been widely used for the detection and quantification of bovine babesiosis due to their high sensitivity and specificity. However, variations in the sensitivity of pathogen detection may occur depending on the selected target gene. Thus, this study aimed to compare the detection sensitivity (DS) of Babesia bovis and B.
