Molecular evidence of prevalent dual piroplasma infections in North American raccoons (Procyon lotor).

Parasitology - 1 Jan 2008

Birkenheuer A J, Marr H S, Hladio N, Acton A E

Abstract excerpt

Based on 18S rRNA sequence analyses 2 distinct genotypes of piroplasms have been described in raccoons. One genotype resides in the Babesia sensu stricto clade and the other in the Babesia microti-like clade. Since these organisms appear morphologically indistinguishable, it is unclear which strain is responsible for the majority of the infections in raccoons. In order to overcome these limitations we performed a...
