New insights into the altered adhesive and mechanical properties of red blood cells parasitized by <i>Babesia bovis</i>
19 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Sequestration of parasite-infected red blood cells (RBCs) in the microvasculature is an important pathological feature of both bovine babesiosis caused by Babesia bovis and human malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Surprisingly, when compared with malaria, the cellular and molecular mechanisms that underlie this abnormal circulatory behaviour for RBCs infected with B. bovis have been relatively ignored....
