A Differential Diagnostic Criterion for Babesia Major and Babesia Bigemina Vermicules from Tick Haemolymph. Zeitschrift für Parasitenkunde, 52, 241-243. https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/42840031-1820https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/4284Babesia major mature and immature vermicules in the haemolymph of Haemaphysalis punctata were measured and found to be significantly larger than vermicules of Babesia bigemina. Mature B. major vermicules had a mean length of 15.53 μm and mature B. bigemina vermicules had a mean length of 11.79 μm. This difference provides a new criterion for the differentiation of the two species.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionTicksHaemaphysalis punctataSpeciesHaemolymph
