Cultivation and Phylogenetic Characterization of a Newly Recognized Human Pathogenic Protozoan
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
An intraerythrocytic protozoan (WA1) recently isolated from a patient in Washington State was shown to be morphologically identical to Babesia microti but biologically and genetically distinct. Continuous growth of WA1 was established in stationary erythrocyte cultures. Hybridization of a chemiluminescent Babesia-specific DNA probe to Southern blots of restriction enzyme-digested genomic DNA showed that WA1 could...
