Abstract
The present invention provides a process for the in vitro culture of parasites of the genus Babesia, processes for the in vitro attenuation of the virulence of these parasites, processes for the in vitro cloning of these parasites, attenuated parasites, clonal lines of the genus Babesia, nucleotide probes derived from the clonal lines, the use of these probes for the identification of Babesia parasites and to vaccinces against babesioses.
