Abstract

There are many reports on the development of Babesia species in the host and the vector ticks [1,2 ,9 ,11,15]. However, no detailed observations on the developmental stages of Babesia ovata [12] in Haemaphysalis longicornis have been made yet. Babesia species are known to undergo morphological change during the growth in the host and the vector ticks. The present was carried out to study the growth of B. ovata in periphelal blood of host cattle, in the midgut, haemolymph and eggs of the tick, H. longicornis.

A small farm is nestled among rolling hills, fields stretching across a curving road that disappears between dark green trees. The barn is a cheery red color with a tin roof. Beneath the photo is the a statement of the conference's theme in white italics: Challenges of the Bovine Industry in the Twenty-First Century. Deep red background.
