TL;DR: Anaplasma marginale-infected erythrocytes were examined for the presence of maturation, isolate-restricted, and isolate-common antigens by indirect immunofluorescence with monoclonal antibodies, demonstrate antigenic heterogeneity among isolates of A. marginale and provide a method for the identification and isolation of common antigen for diagnostic tests.

TL;DR: Characteristics of the apocytchrome b gene may make this a valuable target DNA for PCR-based detection of other hemoparasites, according to the results of a PCR test on carrier cattle infected with Babesia bovis.

TL;DR: The potential of AmF36 as a subunit immunogen for bovine anaplasmosis is demonstrated and a structural basis for its cross-protective ability is indicated.

TL;DR: The innate and acquired immune mechanisms that define resistance in young calves and correlate with the development of concomitant immunity in older cattle following recovery from clinical disease are described.

TL;DR: Three Babesia bovis merozoite surface proteins with relative molecular weights were identified by indirect immunofluorescence of livemerozoites and by immunoprecipitation of 125I-surface-labeled merozosite proteins with immune bovine sera and monoclonal antibodies, and these proteins were clearly of parasite origin.
