Abstract excerpt

Exploring the antigenic and genetic diversities of Babesia ovata, we obtained several field isolates from grazing cattle in the Okushiri island, Japan. Parasite isolation was greatly facilitated by using bovine red blood cell-substituted SCID mice (Bo-RBC-SCID mice), into which the blood samples...
