Abstract excerpt
The complexity of multigene families encoding rhoptry proteins and the generation of new variants in these families are constraints to development of vaccines incorporating rhoptry proteins. For example, the Babesia bigemina rhoptry associated protein (rap)-1 locus is composed of tandemly arrange...
