Anti-B. bovis IgG antibodies were detected by an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Using DNA amplification, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, the genetic diversity of B. bovis was assessed based on the genes that encode merozoite surface antigens (MSA-1, MSA-2b and MSA-2c). The serological results demonstrated that up to six months of age, all the calves developed active immunity against B. bovis. Among the 75 DNA samples evaluated, 0, 3 and 5 sequences of the msa-1, msa-2b and msa-2c genes were obtained, respectively. The present study demonstrated that the msa-2b and msa-2c gene sequences amplified from blood DNA of B. bovis-positive calves were genetically diversified. These data emphasize the importance of conducting deeper studies on the genetic diversity of B. bovis in Brazil, in order to design diagnostic antigens and vaccines in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612020089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,20]],"date-time":"2020-11-20T23:04:49Z","timestamp":1605913489000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Genetic diversity of Babesia bovis studied longitudinally under natural transmission conditions in calves in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Carlos Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Matos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual Paulista,  Brasil; Direc\u00e7\u00e3o de Ci\u00eancias Animais,  Mo\u00e7ambique"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenevaldo Barbosa da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual Paulista,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luiz Ricardo","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual Paulista,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Natalia Serra","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual Paulista,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dasiel Obreg\u00f3n","family":"Alvarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad Agraria de La Habana,  Cuba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcos Rog\u00e9rio","family":"Andr\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual Paulista,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5176-2940","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosangela Zacarias","family":"Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual Paulista,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2-4","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2011.09.021","article-title":"Phylogenetic relationships of Mongolian Babesia bovis isolates based on the merozoite surface antigen (MSA)-1, MSA-2b, and MSA-2c genes","volume":"184","author":"Altangerel K","year":"2012","journal-title":"Vet Parasitol"},{"issue":"W1","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"W597","DOI":"10.1093\/nar\/gks400","article-title":"ExPASy: SIB bioinformatics resource portal","volume":"40","author":"Artimo P","year":"2012","journal-title":"Nucleic Acids Res"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"79","article-title":"Epidemiologia da babesiose bovina no estado de S\u00e3o Paulo: I.
