Abstract
⺠The smorf gene family is the second largest in Babesia bovis. ⺠Smorf genes have a large hypervariable insertion in 20 of the 44 genes. ⺠The smorf gene repertoire varies between strains, with both conserved and unique genes in each strain. ⺠Multiple smorf genes are transcribed and expressed in merozoites.
