Abstract
⺠A multigene family with Plasmodium 6-cys domain present in related Apicomplexa. ⺠The sequence of the Bbo-6cys-E protein is conserved among distinct B. bovis strains. ⺠The Bbo-6cys-E protein is expressed during B. bovis infection and is antigenic. ⺠Significant reduction of erythrocyte invasion with anti-rBbo-6cys-E antisera. ⺠Bbo-6cys-E protein is a strong candidate for subunit vaccine.
