• Babesia bovis AMA-1, MSA-2c and RAP-1 contain conserved B and T-cell epitopes, which generate neutralizing antibodies and a long-lasting Th1 immune response in vaccinated cattle 

      Hidalgo-Ruiz, Mario; Mejia-López, Susana; Pérez-Serrano, Rosa M.; Zaldívar-Lelo de Larrea, Guadalupe; Ganzinelli, Sabrina Belen; Florin-Christensen, Monica; Suarez, Carlos Esteban; Hernández-Ortiz, Rubén; Mercado-Uriostegui, Miguel A.; Rodríguez-Torres, Angelina; Carvajal-Gamez, Bertha I.; Camacho-Nuez, Minerva; Wilkowsky, Silvina Elizabeth; Mosqueda, Juan (Elsevier, 2022-02)
      Vaccines against bovine babesiosis must, ideally, induce a humoral immune response characterized by neutralizing antibodies against conserved epitopes and a cellular Th1 immune response. In Babesia bovis, proteins such as ...
