Babesia caballi infected erythrocytes were collected from the blood of an experimentally infected horse and could be continuously cultivated in vitro with parasitemia ranging from 2-4% in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 20 mM HEPES and 40% adult horse serum in a low oxygen atmosphere (2% O-2, 5% CO2 and 93% N-2. All attempts to increase parasitemia failed using other culture media, serum concentrations and culture vessels. However, parasite growth was enhanced by transfer of cultures from a low oxygen to 5% CO2 in air, with parasitemia ranging from 8-10%.
