An Overview of Current Knowledge on Cultivation for Production of Live Attenuated Vaccines for Bovine Babesiosis in Mexico.

The instrumentation of the culture system has allowed researchers to learn more about the metabolic and growth behavior of spp. The various applications for cultivation of include obtaining attenuated strains for vaccination or pre-munition, the selection of pure lines with different degrees of virulence, studies on biological cloning, ultrastructure, antigen production for diagnostics, drug sensitivity assessments, and different aspects of parasite biology. Although there are different types of vaccines that have been tested against bovine babesiosis, so far, the only procedure that has offered favorable results in terms of protection and safety has been the use of live attenuated vaccines.
