An outbreak of Babesia bovis infection in cattle and its control

Immune control of Babesia bovis infection.

Babesia bovis causes an acute and often fatal infection in adult cattle, which if resolved, leads to a state of persistent infection in otherwise clinically healthy cattle. Persistently infected cattle are generally resistant to reinfection with related parasite strains, and this resistance in the face of infection is termed concomitant immunity. Young animals are generally more resistant than ...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Detection of Babesia bovis in cattle by PCR-ELISA.

We established a new highly sensitive method, PCR-ELISA, for the dectection of Babesia bovis in cattle for farms in Thailand. The detection of around 2.4 x 10(-8)% parasitemia (equivalent to 1 infected erythrocyte per 2 ml) was achieved by PCR amplification followed by the ELISA detection of a biotin tagged gene. When comparing the sensitivity of PCR-ELISA with the microscopic method, our PCR-E...

Blocking Babesia bovis vaccine reactions of dairy cattle in milk.

The use of 1.16 mg/kg (one third) of the recommended dose of diminazene aceturate, administered indiscriminately to cattle on day seven of the unfrozen Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina bivalent live blood vaccine reaction, was an infection and block treatment method of immunisation used successfully with no known adverse effect on the parasites or the development of protective immunity. C...

Molecular Detection of Babesia bigemina and Babesia bovis in Crossbred Carrier Cattle Through PCR

Bovine babesiosis and other tick borne diseases are considered responsible for more than 50% losses in the crossbred cattle. Carrier cattle infected with babesiosis are challenge to current diagnostic methods and are difficult to detect because of the low number of parasites in circulation. However, diagnosis of carrier animals in herd is important for preventing outbreaks by transmission throu...
