| Research Abstract |
Babesiosis causes great economic losses to animal industry worldwide and designated as an exotic infectious disease. Objective of the present study was to develop new serological and molecular diagnostic tests against babesiaosis to do molecular epidemiological survey on babesiosis in Asia and Africa, and to contribute for strength of the quarantine system in Japan. As a result, new serological and molecular diagnostics were developed against bovine and equine babesiosis. The epidemiological surveillance in four countries in Asia Africa demonstrated high prevalence of babesiosis in these regions.
