Babesia in deer

Linda’s comment: It is nice to see more Vets are getting involved with Lyme and pets….
Excerpt:
The present study describes the only deer
piroplasm detected so far that shows complete identity with B. divergens, in
just over half of the 18S rRNA gene. The entire gene of this deer parasite
should be analysed and transmission experiments undertaken before the
infectivity of B. divergens for red deer can be confirmed.
