  abstract: Isolations of Babesia spp. were made from wild Cervidae and
  abstract: the parasites were established in vitro culture. The
  abstract: parasites isolated were Babesia odocoilei from white-tailed
  abstract: deer (Odocoileus virginianus), and uncharacterized Babesia
  abstract: spp. from an elk (Cervus elaphus canadensis) and a caribou
  abstract: (Rangifer tarandus cafibou). The three cervid isolates were
  abstract: morphologically closely similar to one another and were
  abstract: comparable in size to B. &vergens, which is classified as a
  abstract: "small" babesia. Like B. &vergens, the cervid parasites are
  abstract: often found situated in close proximity to the peripheral
  abstract: margin within the host erythrocyte. Relationships between
  abstract: the cervid isolates and B. divergens were compared on the
  abstract: basis of the following characteristics; (a) the ability of
  abstract: the parasites to utilize serum and erythrocytes from
  abstract: different hosts during in vitro culture, (b) the serological
  abstract: profiles seen in calves (Bos taurus and Cervus elaphus
  abstract: elaphus) after in vivo inoculation of the parasites, (c) the
  abstract: ultrastructural characteristics of the organisms and (d) the
  abstract: sequences of their small subunit ribosomal RNA (srRNA) genes.
  abstract: Slight differences were found among the cervid isolates in
  abstract: their ability to utilize alternate host serum and
  abstract: erythrocytes in vitro. Babesia divergens was able to
  abstract: propagate in bovine erythrocytes and serum whereas the cervid
  abstract: isolates were not. Post inocula tion calf sera showed strong
  abstract: homologous reactions in the immunofluorescent antibody test,
  abstract: although cross-reactions occurred as well. By transmission
  abstract: electron microscopy, Babesia odocoilei was found to have a
  abstract: feeding organelle not seen in the other isolates. The srRNA
  abstract: gene sequences of B. odocoilei and the isolates from the elk
  abstract: and caribou were identical. The cervid Babesia and B.
  abstract: divergens sequences were aligned with those already available
  abstract: from other Babesia and Theiletia spp. and phylogenetic trees
  abstract: were inferred from the alignment. These trees indicated that
  abstract: the cervid isolates were more closely related to B. divergens
  abstract: than to any other Babesia. Trees inferred by distance
  abstract: methods indicated that Babesia canis, classified as a "large"
  abstract: babesia, was the next most closely related among the Babesia
  abstract: spp. for which sequence data was available. The cervid
  abstract: Babesia isolates and B. divergens were paired together within
  abstract: the Babesia sensu stricto group in all of the phylogenetic
  abstract: trees.
