  • Title: In vitro growth of Babesia bovis in white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) erythrocytes.
    Author: Holman PJ, Waldrup KA, Droleskey RE, Corrier DE, Wagner GG.
    Journal: J Parasitol; 1993 Apr; 79(2):233-7. PubMed ID: 8459334.
    Abstract:
    Babesia bovis cultured in bovine erythrocytes was passaged into white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) erythrocytes and medium containing either white-tailed deer serum or bovine serum. Deer erythrocytes supported the growth of the parasite only in the presence of bovine serum. Cryopreserved cultures were recovered successfully in white-tailed deer erythrocytes. By light and electron microscopy, B. bovis structure appeared similar in host cells of either species.
