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).

Procoagulant Activity of Babesia bovis-Infected Erythrocytes

The Journal of Parasitology, 1987
transmitted the trypanosome by introduction of infected mites per os to Serinus canaria. The presence of epimastigotes and metacyclic trypanosomes in 3 species of mites that are associated with moles and the growth of these flagellates to trypnomastigotes in culture at 37 C, which resemble the bloodstream form of T. talansmi ted the trypanosome by intr

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 ...

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 ...

Babesiosis (Babesia bovis) Stability in Unstable Environments

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract: 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, 2014
This 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, 1987
A 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, 1987
Agarose 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
