Detection of Babesia divergens in southern Norway by using an immunofluorescence antibody test in cow sera [PDF]
, 2010 Background The incidence of bovine babesiosis, caused by Babesia divergens (Apicomplexa: Piroplasmida) has decreased markedly since the 1930 s, but may re-emerge as a consequence of climate change and changes in legislation and pasturing practices.
