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.

Immune control of Babesia bovis infection

Veterinary Parasitology, 2006
Babesia bovis causes an acute and often fatal infection in adult cattle, which if resolved, leads to a state of persistent infection in otherwise clinically healthy cattle. Persistently infected cattle are generally resistant to reinfection with related parasite strains, and this resistance in the face of infection is termed concomitant immunity. Young

Cloning and characterization of peroxiredoxin in Babesia bovis

Parasitology Research, 2009
We 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 ...

Serological survey of Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina in cattle in South Africa

Veterinary Parasitology, 2011
A 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.

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 ...

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.

Babesia bovis: The development of an expression oligonucleotide microarray

Experimental Parasitology, 2007
The availability of a stage-specific Babesia bovis expression profile can facilitate the identification of candidate vaccine antigens. In addition, highly expressed genes during a particular developmental stage may suggest their relevance during that stage. In this study, we generated and validated a custom B.

Immunopathophysiology of Babesia bovis and Plasmodium falciparum infections

Parasitology Today, 1988
Babesia 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 ...

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).

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.
