Abstract

This report describes DNA probes for the identification of Babesia equi. A genomic library of B. equi was constructed in pUC13. Several clones were identified that hybridized strongly to B. equi DNA. Clone pBE33 hybridized specifically to B. equi DNA and did not hybridize to horse DNA nor to DNA from Babesia caballi, Babesia bovis or Babesia bigemina. Two subclones of pBE33 (pSB20 and pEH21) containing B. equi repetitive sequences, could detect 0.49 ng and 0.97 ng B. equi DNA, respectively.
