Chromosome-level genome assembly of Babesia caballi reveals diversity of multigene families among Babesia species

Abstract Background Babesia caballi is an intraerythrocytic parasite from the phylum Apicomplexa, capable of infecting equids and causing equine piroplasmosis. However, since there is limited genome information available on B. caballi, molecular mechanisms involved in host specificity and pathogenic...
