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 ...

Increased glucose permeability in Babesia bovis-infected erythrocytes

International Journal for Parasitology, 1990
Glucose 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, 1978
Babesia 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, 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.

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.
