Abstract

The epidemiologic survey for detection of Babesia bigemina-infected cattle in Xinjiang by the improved indirect HSP20(exon) ELISA was performed in this study.The results were shown that(1) bovine babesiosis caused by Babesia bigemina was presented in Xinjiang,which was first time to be confirmed by the serological method.The infection rates Babesia bigemina in cattle in 2006,2007 and 2008 were 5.40%(11/278),4.70%(25/532) and 7.17%(53/530),respectively;(2)the infection rate was increased by 30%(15/50) in some endemic regions in 2008;(3)The number of infected prefectures in Xinjiang were also increased from 8 in 2006 to 13 in 2008;(4)The features of bovine babesios which is caused by Babesia bigemina were that the infection rate and epidemic region were increased year by year.This is a first in large-scale epidemiological survey for detection the specific antibodies against Babesia bigemina in cattle from Xinjiang by an improved indirect HSP20 ELISA.
