Genetic variations in merozoite surface antigen genes of Babesia bovis detected in Vietnamese cattle and water buffaloes

Abstract: The genes that encode merozoite surface antigens (MSAs) in Babesia bovis are genetically diverse. In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity of B. bovis MSA-1, MSA-2b, and MSA-2c genes in Vietnamese cattle and water buffaloes. Blood DNA samples from 258 cattle and 49 water buffaloes reared in the Thua Thien Hue province of Vietnam were screened with a B. bovis-specific diagnostic PCR assay. The B. bovis-positive DNA samples (23 cattle and 16 water buffaloes) were then subjected to PCR assays to amplify t… Show more

“…Out of nine samples that were positive for the type-specific PCR assays in Vietnam, six and three were from cattle and water buffaloes, respectively. In agreement with the previous studies (Sivakumar et al, 2013b;Yokoyama et al, 2015), five (C, AS1, AS4, AS5, AS7, and AS8) and four (AS1, AS4, AS6, and AS8) different genotypes were detected in the DNA samples from Sri Lanka and Vietnam, respectively. In contrast, in addition to the previously described genotype C (Altangerel et al, 2012), three novel genotypes (AS1, AS4, and AS6) were detected in the DNA samples from…”
