Loss of neurovirulence is associated with reduction of cerebral capillary sequestration during acute Babesia bovis infection

BACKGROUND: Severe neurological signs that develop during acute infection by virulent strains of Babesia bovis are associated with sequestration of infected erythrocytes in cerebral capillaries. Serial passage of virulent strains in cattle results in attenuated derivatives that do not cause neurolog...
