| Abstract: | An extrachromosomal nucleic acid element was detected in high-molecular-weight DNA preparations formBabesia equi merozoites. This extrachromosomal element was shown to be DNA rather than RNA and had an apparent fragment size of about 9 kilobasepairs (kb). Hybridization experiments using purified 9-kb DNA as a probe revealed sequence homologies with extrachromosomal DNA from two otherBabesia species. |
