Abstract

Clones of a Babesia bovis isolate known to cause particularly severe cerebral babesiosis were tested for virulence phenotype by inoculation of cattle. Clones were selected for phenotyping by two criteria – rate of growth in culture and hybridization of a virulence-related probe to Southern blots. Largely on the basis of associated mortality, B. bovis clones were judged to vary in their pathogenic potential.
