| babesia bigemina in kenya: experimental transmission by boophilus decoloratus and the production of tick-derived stabilates. | a babesia-free batch of laboratory reared boophilus decoloratus ticks was infected with a kenyan strain of babesia bigemina by feeding them on a steer infected by inoculation of a blood stabilate. the engorged female ticks showed developing stages of b. bigemina in their haemolymph and subsequently their progeny transmitted the parasite to a susceptible splenectomized steer. attempts were made to produce stabilates from pre-fed larvae and nymphs derived from infected batches of b. decoloratus. o ... | 1977 | 876684 |
| the fine structure of intra-erythrocytic stages of babesia bigemina. | the electron microscope was used to study the structure of merozoites, merozoites in the process of transformation to trophozoites, trophozoites, and the method of multiplication of b. bigemina. the merozoites were piriform in shape and surrounded by 3 peripheral membranes of which the 2 inner ones often appeared as a single thick osmiophilic structure (inner membrane). anterior and posterior polar rings, microtubules, micronemes, rhoptries and mitochondria with and without tubular cristae were ... | 1977 | 614533 |
| light and electron microscopic observations on the development of babesia bigemina in larvae, nymphae and non-replete females of boophilus decoloratus. | in boophilus decoloratus infected by transovarian passage with b. bigemina, primary schizogony occurred as a continuous repetitive process in all 3 stages of the tick's life cycle spent on the host. the primary schizonts and the large merozoites (= vermicules) produced by them were observed in the gut epithelium, haemocytes, muscles, ad peritracheal cells. secondary schizogony which led to the formation of small merozoites (= infective forms) occurred mainly in the salivary glands, but was also ... | 1977 | 613293 |
| studies on theileriidae (sporozoa) in tanzania. viii. experiments with african buffalo (syncerus caffer). | it has been found that african buffalo may remain infective carriers of theileria parva lawrencei for at least 5 years. this infection is now known to exist in buffalo in 3 sites in northern tanzania. it was shown that buffalo can be infected with haematoxenus veliferus and theileria mutans of cattle and retransmission of these parasites from buffalo to cattle was successful. the species of haematoxemus reported in wild buffalo in central and east africa is likely to be h. veliferus, while the p ... | 1977 | 410128 |
| identification of babesia bigemina in the tick boophilus decoloratus by the indirect fluorescent antibody technique. | developing stages of babesia bigemina were detected in the giemsa-stained haemolymph smears of replete boophilus decoloratus females engorged on infected animals. replicate smears of these were prepared for staining by the indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) technique. with specific antisera to b bigemina in dilutions up to 1/160 and rabbit antibovine globulin conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (conjugate) the b bigemina stages were seen to fluoresce under the fluorescent microscope. whe ... | 1977 | 333527 |
| comparisons of the complement-fixation and indirect fluorescent antibody reactions in the detection of bovine babesiasis. | complement-fixation (cf) and indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) antigens were prepared from babesia bigemina isolates obtained in texas. these serologic procedures were evaluated on 130 serum samples sequentially collected from 5 b bigemina-infected mature cattle, beginning on the day of exposure and continuing for 175 day thereafter. both tests were effective in detecting specific antibodies for the first 84 days of infection, with 57 of 60 (95%) serums tested being positive on the cf test and ... | 1977 | 320922 |
| the effect of natural exposure to anaplasma and babesia infections on native calves in an endemic area of colombia. | the age at which native calves first became infected with anaplasma marginale and babesia bigemina and the effect of the infections as characterised by anaemia was determined by the biweekly examination of newly born calves on four ranches located in an endemic area of anaplasmosis and babesiosis on the north coast of colombia. all of the calves examined became infected with a. marginale at 4-24 weeks of age and with b. bigemina at 2-34 weeks of age. the mean age at first infection with both hae ... | 1977 | 562010 |
| acute babesia bigemina infection: changes in coagulation and kallikrein parameters. | plasma from splenectomized calves infected with b. bigemina were assayed for disturbances in the coagulation system. changes were observed in the wbct, ptt, pt, tt and rt as well as in fibrinogen, calcium and thrombocyte levels. these changes were most marked during days 6--7 when parasite numbers were greatest. massive intramuscular haemolysis coincided with these changes. the plasma kallikrein level fell progressively from days 6--11 and the level of activated kallikrein rose slightly. parasit ... | 1977 | 919688 |

| tick-borne diseases of domestic animals in northern nigeria. ii. research summary, 1966 to 1976. | during the first 10 years of its existence, the department of parasitology and entomology of the faculty of veterinary medicine, ahmadu bello university in zaria, nigeria, confirmed or described for the first time the occurrence of 25 different tick-borne parasites of domestic animals in the northern part of the country. most of these organisms occur as inapparent infections but may serve as complicating factors in any adverse host condition. the transmission of babesia bigemina by boophilus dec ... | 1977 | 339447 |
| antigenic variation of babesia bigemina. | the purpose of the study was to determine whether antigenic differences occurred in four stabilates of babesia bigemina derived from a single purified isolate and propagated as acute and chronic, blood-borne and tick-borne infections in colombian cattle. antigens were characterised by means of the complement fixation (cf), gel diffusion (gd), agar gel electrophoresis (age) and the indirect haemagglutination tests (iha). differences were detected. acute blood and chronic blood antigens were simil ... | 1977 | 905655 |
| a differential diagnostic criterion for babesia major and babesia bigemina vermicules from tick haemolymph. | babesia major mature and immature vermicules in the haemolymph of haemaphysalis punctata were measured and found to be significantly larger than vermicules of babesia bigemina. mature b. major vermicules had a mean length of 15.53 micrometer and mature b. bigemina vermicules had a mean length of 11.79 micrometer. this difference provides a new criterion for the differentiation of the two species. | 1977 | 906629 |
| tick-borne diseases of domestic animals in northern nigeria. i. historical review, 1923-1969. | information on the occurrence of tick-borne diseases of domestic animals in northern nigeria for the period 1923 to 1966 is summarised. due to lack of obvious outbreaks and diverse interest of the veterinary staff, the published information is very scanty. significant for the period under review was the complicating factor of babesia bigemina infections in cattle undergoing rinderpest immunisation procedures or suffering from trypanosomiasis. tick-borne diseases were also considered important in ... | 1977 | 910300 |

| immunization against anaplasmosis and babesiosis. part ii. evaluation of cryo-preserved vaccines using different doses and routes of inoculation. | anaplasma marginale, babesia argentina and babesia bigemina infected blood used as vaccines for immunization trials in valle del cauca, were preserved with 4 molar dimethyl-sulfoxide (4m dmso) and stored in liquid nitrogen (-196 degrees c). the effectivity of the vaccines was determined in 87 healthy calves utilizing serial 10-fold dilutions. the effects of dose, inoculation routes, time and temperature were determined. the minimum infective dose for a. marginale was 10(-3) (2 x 10(6)) when 2 ml ... | 1978 | 675843 |
| the duration of latent infection and functional immunity in droughtmaster and hereford cattle following natural infection with babesia argentina and babesia bigemina. | tne droughtmaster and 9 hereford cattle were born in an enzootic babesiasis area and became naturally infected with babesia argentina and b.bigemina during a 3 year period. they were then kept free of cattle ticks (boophilus microplus) for the remainder of the experiment. annually for the next 3 years their individual infection status with babesia was determined by sub-inoculation of blood into splenectomised calves. at the end of this period the functional immunity of all cattle was challenged ... | 1978 | 655965 |
| efficacy of attenuated anaplasma marginale vaccine under laboratory and field conditions in colombia. | four-month-old holstein-friesian calves were inoculated with 3 different doses (1, 2, and 3 ml) of attenuated anaplasma marginale vaccine. vaccinated calves showed mild anaplasma parasitemia, slight decrease in packed cell volume, low serologic conversion, and no clinical illness. an artificial challenge exposure of vaccinated and unvaccinated calves with virulent colombian a marginale showed that the vaccine provided protection against clinical signs of the disease, including parasitemia and an ... | 1978 | 629456 |
| epidemiology and control of bovine babesiosis in south africa. | babesiosis is the cause of serious economic losses in south africa and involves most areas with an annual rainfall of more than 400 mm. both babesia bigemina and babesia bovis are present and both are considered to be important. the vectors, distribution and factors influencing enzootic stability of both species are discussed. except in some areas only marginally suitable for ticks, and where tick control alone may be adequate, control by immunisation is recommended. short term prevention can be ... | 1979 | 576018 |
| preliminary observations on the combined use of imidocarb and babesia blood vaccine in cattle. | imidocarb was used by three different methods to control reactions in cattle induced by a babesia blood vaccine produced in south africa. simultaneous administration of 0,15 mg/kg imidocarb and babesia bovis vaccine gave satisfactory control. when the vaccine was given seven days prior to the imidocarb treatment a dose between 0,15 mg/kg and 0,6 mg/kg imidocarb was required for effective control. a combined b. bovis and babesia bigemina vaccine given at 21 and again 61 days after a 3 mg/kg imido ... | 1979 | 553972 |

| experiments on the babesia bigemina carrier state in east african buffalo and eland. | three captive east african buffalo (syncerus caffer) were injected with 5 x 109 bovine erythrocytes with babesia bigemina pathogenic for cattle. none of the buffalo showed signs of disease, but babesia were found in blood smears for four days indicating their multiplication. the carrier state of babesia bigemina was established in two buffalo for 28 and 147 days respectively by sub-inoculation into splenectomized calves, while no parasites were demonstrated 28 days after injection in the third b ... | 1979 | 543000 |
| bovine babesiosis: pathogenicity and heterologous species immunity of tick-borne babesia bovis and b bigemina infections. | a total of 22 nonsplenectomized hereford, holstein-friesian, and cross-bred 18-month-old cattle were used to assess the degree of protection conferred by previous infection with babesia bovis or b bigemina against infection and disease from tick-borne challenge exposure with the heterologous species. prior infection with b bigemina or b bovis did not significantly (p less than 0.05) reduce the susceptibility of cattle to tick-borne infection and disease caused by the heterologous species. carrie ... | 1980 | 7212429 |
| erythrocytic na+ and k+ changes during babesia bigemina infection in cattle. | the levels of na+ and k+ in whole blood, plasma and erythrocytes were measured during the course of primary babesia bigemina infection in cattle. there were significant changes in the levels of na+ and k+ in erythrocytes, but not in plasma. erythrocytic na+ decreased and k+ increased during the course of infection, returning to normal two to three weeks later. similar ionic changes were produced in animals which were bled to cause packed cell volume depression. it is therefore suggested that the ... | 1980 | 7255896 |
| [ultrastructure and cytochemistry of the pellicle and apical complexes of the kinete of babesia bigemina and babesia ovis in the hemolymph and oavry of the tick]. | the term kinete is used in this paper for the cigar-shaped, motile development stages (vermicule") of babesia occurring intra- and extracellularly in hemolymph and overy (including oocytes) of vectors, hard ticks (ixodoidea). the structure of, and cytochemical activities of hydrolases (acid phosphatase, nonspecific esterase) in the pellicle and the apical complex was studied at the fine-structural level in kinetes of babesia bigemina smith & kilborne, in hemolympho of female boophilus microplus ... | 1980 | 7373571 |

| studies on a bovine babesia transmitted by hyalomma marginatum rufipes koch, 1844. | a babesia sp. was recently observed in hyalomma marginatum rufipes and found to be transmissible to bovines. further observations were carried out on this parasite and a study made of the morphology of stages in both erythrocytes and tick haemolymph. apart from babesia divergens, intra-erythrocytic parasites were not readily distinguishable from bovine babesia spp. merozoites in tick haemolymph morphologically resembled those of babesia bigemina, but they were significantly larger. this babesia ... | 1981 | 7345388 |
| the retention of babesia bigemina infection by boophilus decoloratus exposed to imidocarb dipropionate during engorgement. | babesia bigemina was retained in the vector boophilus decoloratus for a complete generation despite the use of the babesicide, imidocarp dipropionate, to prevent reinfection. this drug did not sterilize ticks of the b. bigemina infection as has been suggested for b. bovis. | 1981 | 7345389 |
| inhibition of babesia spp. by plastics. | five commercially available plastic containers were compared with glass for toxicity toward babesia rodhaini and babesia bigemina. comparisons were made by using infectivity tests in mice (b. rodhaini) and cattle (b. bigemina). low-density polypropylene and polystyrene containers were not toxic, but two of the three polyvinyl chloride containers tested significantly reduced the viability of both species of babesia. plasticizer present in various amounts on the surface of the toxic containers was ... | 1981 | 7224620 |
| development of a highly infective babesia bigemina vaccine of reduced virulence. | the virulence of a strain of babesia bigemina was reduced by syringe passaging at 3 to 16-week intervals in a series of 7 calves. the calves were splenectomised 1 to 14 weeks after inoculation to induce the relapse parasitaemias used for passaging. parasites taken at relapse from the last 3 calves in the series were inoculated into splenectomised calves from which highly parasitised blood for vaccine was obtained. the vaccine produced mild infections in 32 recipient cattle. when challenged eithe ... | 1981 | 7236153 |
| bovine babesiosis: protection of cattle with culture-derived soluble babesia bovis antigen. | adult hereford (bos taurus) cattle were protected from severe reactions and death caused by the tick-borne protozoan hemoparasite babesia bovis, 3 months after vaccination with a cell culture--derived immunogen. the immunogen consisted of filtered, freeze-dried supernatant fluid collected from long-term cultures of babesia bovis in vitro. it was reconstituted with saponin adjuvant and injected twice subcutaneously at 2-week intervals. serum collected from vaccinated cattle caused thickening of t ... | 1981 | 7209532 |
| serological prevalence of bovine babesiosis in guyana. | the serological prevalence of bovine babesiosis in guyana was determined utilising the indirect fluorescent antibody (ifa) and the complement fixation (cf) tests. babesia bigemina ifa and cf antibody activity was detected in 80% and 40% respectively of the sera from native cattle while ifa and cf antibody activity to babesia bovis was observed in 61% and 16% of the sera. the prevalence of antibody was compared between calves less than 6 months of age and mature cattle. there was little differenc ... | 1981 | 7020193 |
