MOLECULAR EVIDENCE OF BABESIA EQUI TRANSMISSION IN HAEMAPHYSALIS LONGICORNIS
1 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
We studied the tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, to determine the possibility of both transovarial and transstadial transmission of Babesia equi. We also studied the usefulness of the needle injection method for pathogenic tick-transmitted organisms including Babesia parasites. Erythrocytes infected with B. equi were injected into the midgut of engorged adults or nymphs using a hypodermic needle passed through the...
