Abstract: A sensor electrode for the detection of nucleotides in a biological sample is described. The sensitivity of the electrode is enhanced by the nanostructured sensor architecture that increases the available surface area of the electrode. The electrode detects nucleotides using standard electrochemical methods.

Abstract: A live vaccine for bovine babesiosis comprises viable bovine erythrocytes parasitized with a cloned population of Babesia bovis, the clone strain being fast-growing, avirulent, and producing a mild but immunizing infection when administered. The vaccine is free of slow-growing virulent B. bovis. The clone strain used in the vaccine is prepared from a natural mixture of virulent and avirulent babesia by progressive dilution culturing to obtain cultures containing single parasites, propagating the single parasites under favorable conditions for growth, and selecting a fast-growing avirulent clone line for either in vitro or in vivo propagation to prepare the vaccines.
