Article Synopsis
- Bovine babesiosis is a significant disease in cattle caused by a protozoan, and researchers aim to understand the differences between an attenuated vaccine strain and a virulent strain by examining gene expression.
- A study was conducted where cattle received either the attenuated or virulent strain, and RNA was extracted for comprehensive transcriptomic analysis, revealing over 500 differentially expressed genes.
- The findings highlighted both common and distinct biological processes between the strains, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms of attenuation and pathogenicity, which could inform future vaccine development.
