population genetic analysis and sub-structuring in babesia bovis. | the tick-borne protozoan parasite, babesia bovis is one of the causes of bovine babesiosis, an economically important disease of cattle in tropical and sub-tropical countries. using the recently published genome sequence of the parasite, we developed a panel of eight mini- and micro-satellite markers and used these to investigate the role of genetic exchange in the population structure and diversity of the parasite using isolates from zambia and turkey. this population genetic analysis showed th ... | 2011 | 21316400 |
