- Bovine babesiosis, particularly caused by Babesia bovis, poses significant economic threats to cattle globally due to its high pathogenicity.
- This study developed a new method combining real-time PCR and high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis for simultaneous detection and semi-quantitative assessment of B. bovis and B. bigemina from a single sample.
- The HRM method demonstrated high sensitivity in differentiating both species and offers a practical alternative for estimating infection prevalence in cattle without needing complex calibration, aiding better disease management across regions.
