Efficacy of an Australian Babesia bovis vaccine strain in Malawi.
Three calves vaccinated with the Australian Ka strain of Babesia bovis were fully protected against experimental infection with an isolate from a farm on which four of 210 vaccinated cattle had died from B bovis infection. A degree of cross protection against the isolate was demonstrated in one calf which had been infected previously with Babesia bigemina.
