Hap2, a novel gene in Babesia bigemina is expressed in tick stages, and specific antibodies block zygote formation

13 Nov 2017

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bovine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by the protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia. In their host vector, Babesia spp. undergo sexual reproduction. Therefore, the development of sexual stages and the subsequent formation of the zygote are essential for the parasite to invade the intestinal cells of the vector tick and continue its life-cycle. HAP2/GCS1 is a protein identified in plants,...
