| seroprevalence of babesia infections of dairy cows in northern thailand. | the present study was conducted to demonstrate the epidemiological distribution of bovine babesiosis in the northern regions of thailand. a total of 700 serum samples of dairy cows in the northern provinces (chiang rai, chiang mai, lumpang, and mae hong sorn) were tested for antibodies against babesia bovis and b. bigemina. species-specific enzyme-linked (rrap-1/cts) were performed. according to the results, 517 (73.8%) and 484 (69.1%) were positive for b. bovis and b. bigemina, respectively. in ... | 2010 | 20363078 |
| molecular detection and identification of babesia bovis and babesia bigemina in cattle in northern thailand. | although babesia bovis and babesia bigemina infections cause economic losses in the cattle industry in northern thailand, there is inadequate information on babesia isolates present in the area. therefore, to determine the prevalence and genetic relationship between babesia isolates, we screened 200 blood samples of cattle from chiang rai, chiang mai, and lumpang provinces of northern thailand. a nested polymerase chain reaction using primers targeting b. bovis spherical body protein 2 (bbosbp2) ... | 2012 | 22645033 |
