Abstract:
The adenosine tri-phosphate concentration of Babesia bovis-infected erythrocytes was significantly (P less than 0.001) less than that of pre-infection erythrocytes. In addition, phosphatidyl serine was detected on the plasmatic surface of the infected erythrocyte. These two related findings could play important roles in the microvascular stasis characteristic of acute B. bovis infection.
