Fig. 2From: Identification of a putative methyltransferase gene of Babesia bigemina as a novel molecular biomarker uniquely expressed in parasite tick stagesScanning electron micrographs: a Non-induced blood culture (merozoite). Panels 1 and 2 show the morphologies observed. b In vitro TCEP-induced sexual stages. Panels 3–8 show different parasite morphologies observed at 24 h post-induction.
