The VP-SFM as a base medium supplemented with AlbuMAX I and a low concentration of canine serum (2.5%) allowed the continuous
in vitro
culture of
Babesia gibsoni
at both small and large volumes, which was to meet different experimental needs, such as long-term culture and obtaining high parasitemia and subclone culture. The establishment of
in vitro
culture systems allows researchers to better understand the metabolism and growth patterns of
Babesia
.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
