title: Babesia bovis (Argentina): studies of plasma lipids and lipoproteins during acute infections in cattle.
abstract: Preliminary studies have demonstrated changes to the lipid metabolism of cattle acutely infected with Babesia bovis. Total lipid, total cholesterol, and phospholipids decreased significantly during infection. Associated with this was a decrease in concentration of serum lipoproteins and a loss of their electrophoretic heterogeneity. These changes are discussed in relation to the pathophysiological changes during infection.
