Use of random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis to compare Babesia bovis and B. bigemina isolates.
Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis provides characteristic fingerprints for Babesia bovis and B. bigemina. This genetic profile reflects similarities and minor differences between closely related regional isolates and the greater diversity representative of species from distant geographic locations.
