Previous reports have shown that the secreted antigen 1 of Babesia gibsoni (BgSA1) and the thrombospondin-related adhesive protein of B. gibsoni (BgTRAP) are promising diagnostic reagents and vaccine candidates. Therefore, we determined the extent of nucleotide sequence variation in the BgSA1 and BgTRAP genes, obtained from eight isolates of B. gibsoni got from clinically infected dogs in geographically distinct...
