  • Title: DNA probes for the detection of Babesia caballi.
    Author: Posnett ES, Ambrosio RE.
    Journal: Parasitology; 1991 Jun; 102 Pt 3():357-65. PubMed ID: 1866181.
    Abstract:
    A genomic library of Babesia caballi DNA was constructed in the plasmid vector pUC13. The specificity of the clones for B. caballi was established by the lack of hybridization to Babesia equi, Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina and equine DNA. Two probes, pBC11 and pBC191, were isolated that could detect 0.25 ng and 0.125 ng of B. caballi DNA, corresponding to a parasitaemia of 0.12% and 0.06% respectively. pBC191 could detect B. caballi parasites in the blood of an experimentally infected horse as well as in naturally infected horses.
