Abstract

To assess transmissibility of attenuated Babesia bigemina (BIS) and Babesia bovis (BOR) strains by Rhipicephalus microplus (R. microplus), 12 steers from a tick-free area were divided in four groups and infested at different intervals with R. microplus larvae. One animal from each group was inoculated with 1x108 infected erythrocytes (IE) of attenuated BIS, BOR, virulent B. bigemina, or B. bovis field strains.
