Abstract
SUMMARYBabesia hylomysciandB. divergenswere studied for superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity by enzyme assay and isoelectric focusing (IEF). In the two Babesia species, parasite-associated SOD is cyanide-insensitive and inhibited by H2O2, indicating that iron is the cofactor metal. Measurements of SOD activity from purified parasites show that the SOD activity detected inBabesiais, for the main part, due to an endogenous enzyme.
