| Recently, Babesia bovis genome project identified a novel gene, which is homologous to the gene encoding sporozoite P36 antigen in Plasmodium parasites. In the present study, we isolated the P36 homologous gene from the genomic DNA of B. bovis and designated it as the BvP36 gene. The sequence of the BvP36 gene was identical to that reported previously. This gene was expressed in an Escherichia coli system to produce a recombinant protein (rBvP36). The rBvP36 protein was produced as a highly soluble form in E. coli and was detected by western blot analyses of sera collected from cattle experimentally infected with B. bovis and B. bigemina merozoites. In indirect immunofluorescence tests, sera collected from mice immunized with rBvP36 showed strong reactions... |

| In hemoprotozoa，gene transfer technology provides an important tool to aid in the functional study of parasite genes. In this study，a transfer vector containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene laid between the Toxoplasma gondii GRAI promoter region and the GRA2 polyA signal region was constructed and transfected into the in vitro culture of Babesia boνis by the electroporation method.On the first and second days post-transfection，clear positive fluorescences were detected in some parasite bodies， indicating the successful expression of the EGFP gene controlled by the GRA-1 promoter in B. bovis. However， the positive parasites were not ubiquitous and finally disappeared until the forth day post-transfection. This is the first time that... |

| A cDNA encoding the Babesia microti 32-kDa protein was identified by serological immunoscreening of a cDNA expression library and designated as BmP32. The full length of BmP32 contains an open reading frame of 918 base pairs consisting of 306 amino acids having a significant homology with B. microti secreted antigen 1. Antiserum raised against recombinant protein (rBmP32) specifically reacted with a 32-kDa native protein of the parasite lysate using western blot analysis. The indirect immunofluorescent antibody test showed a preferable localization of BmP32 in the cytoplasm of the intra- and extracellular parasites. Moreover, BmP32 was secreted in the cytosol of infected erythrocytes, especially during the peak parasitemia and the recovery phase of the... |

| Recently，we reported the in vitro growth inhibitory effects of the imidazole derivatives，clotrimazole(CLT) and ketoconazole (KC)，and the herbicide，clodinafop-propargyl(CP)，against bovine and equine Babesia parasites. Additionally，in the bovine species，several combined applications of the CLT，KC，and CP were reported to significantly increase the inhibitory effects. In this study，similar combination tests were carried out in order to confirm possible synergistic effects in the equine species，Babesia caballi and Babesia equi. Combinations of CLT/KC， CLT/CP，and CLT/KC/CP exerted a significantly enhanced growth inhibitory efficacy in B. caballi，in contrast to B. equi，where no synergistic effects were observed in any of the combinations. Our results suggest that... |

| A set of primers were designed according to the published sequence of the gene encoding a rhoptry protein of Babesia caballi, and used to amplify parasite DNA from the blood samples obtained from carrier horses by polymerase chain reaction（PCR）method．The PCR method was sensitive enough to detect parasite DNA from 2.5 μl blood sample with a parasitemia of 0.000001％. The PCR method was compared with fluorescent antibody test(IFAT) in order to evaluate the diagnosis effciency for B. caball infection in horses. Of 142 field samples from Mongolia, 28(20%) and 96(69%)samples were identified positively by PCR and IFAT, respectively. Although the sensitivity of PCR was lower than IFAT, it was noted that the 5 IFAT-negative samples were PCR-positive, suggesting... |

| Serum from a dog immunized with blood plasma from a B. gibsoni-infected dog, putatively containing secreted antigens, was used to screen a cDNA expression library. A novel gene encoding BgSA1 was identified from the isolated clones. The serum raised in mice immunized with the recombinant BgSA1 expressed in Escherichia coli could recognize a native parasite protein with a molecular mass of 59 kDa. Comparing with the previously established ELISA with recombinant P50 as antigen, the ELISA with recombinant BgSA1 as the antigen was more sensitive when they were used to detect field samples. Moreover, a sandwich ELISA with anti-BgSA1 antibodies could detect the circulating BgSA1 in a serial blood plasma from a dog experimentally infected with B. gibsoni. These... |

| Here we report on an epidemiological study regarding the molecular prevalence of different genotypes of Theileria orientalis present among domestic cattle and water buffalo populations bred in Thailand. A phylogenetic analysis based on the parasitic gene encoding a major piroplasm surface protein revealed the presence of 5 genotypes (Types 1, 3, 5, 7, and N-3) in cattle and 7 genotypes (Types 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, N-2, and N-3) in water buffaloes. Types 4, 7, and N-3 of T. orientalis were reported for the first time in water buffaloes. The previously reported C and Thai types from Thailand clustered as types 7 and 6, respectively, in the present analysis. Great similarities were observed among nucleotide sequences of isolates of the same genotype from cattle and... |

| In the present study, we screened blood DNA samples obtained from cattle bred in Brazil (n=164) and Ghana (n=80) for Babesia bovis using a diagnostic PCR assay and found prevalences of 14.6% and 46.3%, respectively. Subsequently, the genetic diversity of B. bovis in Thailand, Brazil and Ghana was analyzed, based on the DNA sequence of merozoite surface antigen-1 (MSA-1). In Thailand, MSA-1 sequences were relatively conserved and found in a single clade of the phylogram, while Brazilian MSA-1 sequences showed high genetic diversity and were dispersed across three different clades. In contrast, the sequences from Ghanaian samples were detected in two different clades, one of which contained only a single Ghanaian sequence. The identities among the MSA-1... |
