title: Ovine babesiosis: induction of a protective immune response with crude extracts of either Babesia bovis or B ovis.
abstract: Adult sheep were vaccinated twice with crude extracts of either Babesia bovis or B ovis parasites in Freund's complete adjuvant, four weeks apart. Three weeks later these two groups and a third susceptible group were challenged with B ovis organisms. Both vaccinated groups had significantly lower parasitaemias than control animals.
