Establishment of the auxin inducible degron system for Babesia duncani: a conditional knockdown tool to study precise protein regulation in Babesia spp.

Abstract Background Babesia duncani is a pathogen within the phylum Apicomplexa that causes human babesiosis. It poses a significant threat to public health, as it can be transmitted not only through tick bites but also via blood transfusion. Consequently, an understanding of the gene functions of t...
