Hi everyone, I need to know how can I preserve a pellet of Babesia microti in -80 freezer ?. and also, How long would it be possible to preserve that blood in these conditions?. Please, can anyone provide protocol for this purpose?
Hi Hanan, if you have the facilities to do so, treat those blood samples like trypanosome blood samples.

Dear
I definition Babesiosis is an emerging, tick-transmitted, zoonotic disease caused by hematotropic parasites of the genus Babesia
And yet Burcella abortus could be used to protect against Babesia microti. So Brucella abortus strain is given intraperitoneally to mice it protects them against subsequent infection with large doses of Babesia microti. The protection obtained was more effective when B. abortus was given intraperitoneally than when it was injected subcutaneously. This non-specific protection seems to be best explained by the stimulation of macrophages so as to release a mediator which limits the intracellular replication of the parasites.
