Cocktail Babesia bovis antigens for global detection of Babesia bovis infection in cattle

Experimental Parasitology, 2019
The diagnostic performance of a cocktail formula consisting of two Babesia (B.) bovis recombinant proteins, including spherical body protein 1 (BbSBP-1) and spherical body protein 4 (BbSBP-4), was evaluated in the present study for the global detection of B. bovis infection in cattle and for the differentiation between B. bovis and B.

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.

A putative RNA virus in Babesia bovis

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1991
Babesia bovis is an intraerythrocytic protozoan that causes bovine babesiosis. Agarose gel electrophoresis of nucleic acids extracted from two isolates of B. bovis reveals, besides bulk DNA, an ethidium bromide-stainable band at about 5.5 kb. Further characterization of the latter with DNase I, RNase and mung bean nuclease suggested it to be a double ...

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 ...

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

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.

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.

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).

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 ...
