Isolation and cloning of babesia bovis from infected calves with a highly virulent strain
|
|
|
Abstract: Babesia bovis parasite was isolated from naturally infected cattle. The parasite was identified via microscopic detection of Giemsa stained blood smears and indirect immunofluorescence antibody technique (IFAT). Infected calves were treated with Imidocarb dipropionate but 2 calves were died due to acute Babesia infection. Cloning of isolated parasite resulted in 2 clones. When the 2 isolated clones experimentally inoculated into 2 susceptible non-infected calves to evaluate the virulence after culture and cloning, the cloned parasite caused babesiosis without deaths, as the infected animals were recovered without treatment.
