Cloning, characterization and expression of a 200 Kilodalton diagnostic antigen of Babesia bigemina
Current serological tests for Babesia bigemina use semipurified merozoite antigens derived from infected erythrocytes. One of the major drawbacks of these tests is that antigen quality can vary from batch to batch. Since the quality of the antigen contributes to the sensitivity and specificity of se...
