Immunization against a Conserved Surface Polysaccharide Stimulates Bovine Antibodies with Opsonic Killing Activity but Does Not Protect against <i>Babesia bovis</i> Challenge

Immunization against a Conserved Surface Polysaccharide Stimulates Bovine Antibodies with Opsonic Killing Activity but Does Not Protect against <i>Babesia bovis</i> Challenge

Arthropod-borne apicomplexan pathogens remain a great concern and challenge for disease control in animals and humans. In order to prevent <i>Babesia</i> infection, the discovery of antigens that elicit protective immunity is essential to establish approaches to stop disease disseminatio...
