Although babesiosis has been extensively studied globally, the genetic diversity of Babesia species in Malaysian and Nigerian cattle remains unreported. This study aims to bridge this gap by detecting and characterizing Babesia species in selected cattle herds. Our investigation explores the genetic diversity of Babesia species in cattle from Selangor, Malaysia, and Ribah, Nigeria. Blood samples revealed a 32.9% infection rate via PCR analysis. Further genetic analysis detected variations in Malaysian Babesia bigemina isolates but genetic similarity among Nigerian isolates. Conversely, all Babesia bovis isolates displayed genetic homogeneity. In summary, this research identifies genetic diversity in Babesia species affecting Malaysian and Nigerian cattle, highlighting regional disparities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens13030247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]],"date-time":"2024-03-14T05:43:30Z","timestamp":1710395010000},"page":"247","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Genetic Characterization of the RAP-1A and SBP-4 Genes of Babesia Species Infecting Cattle from Selangor, Malaysia, and Ribah, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Adamu Isah","family":"Gano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University Putra Malaysia, Serdang 43400, Selangor, Malaysia"},{"name":"Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service, Plot 84, Ralph Sodeinde Street, Central Business District, Abuja 900211, Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0900-8407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siti Zubaidah","family":"Ramanoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Farm and Exotic Animal Medicine and Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University Putra Malaysia, Serdang 43400, Selangor, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nor-Azlina","family":"Abdul Aziz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University Putra Malaysia, Serdang 43400, Selangor, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mazlina","family":"Mazlan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Pathology and Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University Putra Malaysia, Serdang 43400, Selangor, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohd Rosly","family":"Shaari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Animal Science Research Centre, Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute, Headquarters, Serdang 43400, Selangor, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1093-5622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdullahi","family":"Aliyu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine, College of Applied and Health Sciences, A\u2019Sharqiyah University, P.O.
