From: Identification of proteins expressed by Babesia bigemina kinetes
Detection of BbiKSP transcripts during B. bigemina development in the mammalian and tick hosts. (a) Blood, midguts from day 0 to 6 post-incubation of engorged female ticks and infected hemolymph. To demonstrate that Bbiactin was specific for B. bigemina (b) B. bigemina actin was detected in infected blood but not in midgut from uninfected female tick. R. microplus α-Tubulin was used to demonstrate tick RNA quality. RT− and RT+ indicate the absence or presence of reverse transcriptase
