| 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 |
| isolation and preliminary characterization of a large babesia sp. from sheep and goats in the eastern part of gansu province, china. | two species of babesia were isolated from naturally infected sheep in the eastern part of gansu province. one of the species was identified as b. ovis, while the another one seems as yet to be an unidentified babesia species. the latter could be transmitted transovarially by haemaphysalis longicornis. it was shown that larvae and nymphs transmit the organism to sheep and goats with a prepatent period of 5-28 days. as the carrier period of b. ovis is longer than that of the larger species and the ... | 2002 | 12051600 |
