Indirect fluorescent antibody levels in experimental Babesia divergens infections of cattle.
In splenectomised calves infected with Babesia divergens IFA titres appeared after peak parasitaemia and maximum titres were observed 35 days after infection: the IFA response of adult non-splenectomised cattle was similar. It was concluded that the absence of a spleen did not markedly inhibit the IFA response of cattle to B divergens infection.
