Dynamics of natural infection by Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina in dairy cattele fron an enzootic instability area in Northeastern Brazil.

This study aimed to determine the dynamics of natural infection in the transmission of Babesia spp. to cattle in an enzootic instability area in Northeastern Brazil. Blood samples were collected from 30 calves located on two dairy farms to determine the packed cell volume (PCV) and the timing of the primo-infection using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and their association with climatic factors and management practices...
