description Bovine babesiosis is caused by the Apicomplexa parasites from the genus <i>Babesia</i>. It is one of the most important tick-borne veterinary diseases worldwide; <i>Babesia bovis</i> being the species associated with the most severe clinical signs of the disease and causing the greatest economic losses. Many limitations related to chemoprophylaxis and the acaricides control of transmitting vectors have led to the adoption of live attenuated vaccine immunisation against <i>B. bovis</i> as an alternative control strategy. However, whilst this strategy has been effective, several drawbacks related to its production have prompted research into alternative methodologies for producing vaccines. Classical approaches for developing anti-<i>B. bovis</i> vaccines are thus discussed in this review and are compared to a recent functional approach to highlight the latter’s advantages when designing an effective synthetic vaccine targeting this parasite.
