Abstract
Cattle immunized with a recombinant merozoite surface antigen-1 molecule (MSA-1) produced high-titered antibody that reacted with the surface of the parasite and neutralized merozoite infectivity in vitro. However, recombinant MSA-1 immunization did not confer protection against challenge with virulent Babesia bovis. These results indicate that antibody-mediated neutralization of merozoite infectivity in vitro, at least for MSA-1-specific antibody, does not reflect in vivo protective immunity to babesiosis.Entities:
