| description of a new babesia sp. infective for cattle in china. | a babesia species has been identified and shown to be transmitted by hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum in china. when larvae, nymphs and adults developed from engorged females h. a. anatolicum collected from cattle in xinjiang province were infested onto the babesia-free calves, piroplasms of babesia sp. were seen in blood smears from cattle infested with nymphs (2 calves), but not from the calves infested with larvae (1 calf or adult ticks (2 calves). this babesia sp. proved to be of low virulence ... | 2002 | 12051599 |
| at least two genetically distinct large babesia species infective to sheep and goats in china. | a fatal disease of sheep and goats in the northern part of china has been reported to be due to babesia ovis. however, some characteristics of the causative agent in recent reports are not in accordance with the original attributes ascribed to this parasite. therefore, the 18s small subunit ribosomal rna (18s rrna) genes of a number of babesia isolates in china were sequenced and compared with that of other babesia and theileria species in an attempt to clarify their taxonomic position. in the p ... | 2007 | 17531391 |
| the development and evaluation of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp) method for detection of babesia spp. infective to sheep and goats in china. | the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (lamp) reaction is a method that amplifies with high sensitivity, efficiency, and rapidity, deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) under isothermal condition in simple incubators. two primer sets for the lamp method were designed using the nucleotide sequences of 18s rrna gene of babesia sp. bq1 (lintan) and babesia sp. xinjiang-2005 isolated in china. the primers were used to detect parasite dna extracted from infected blood and purified parasites by lamp. the sp ... | 2008 | 18504039 |
