Funded Activity Summary

Structural and functional alteration of red blood cells by Babesia parasites. Cattle Tick Fever caused by Babesia parasites causes significant economic loss to the Australian livestock industry. New approaches to prevent this disease are urgently needed but this requires greater knowledge of how the parasites cause disease in cattle. By identifying novel proteins involved in the disease process we will be able to make better vaccines and drugs and save the Australian livestock industry millions of dollars each year.
