Abstract
During a period of three months, thin-layer starch-gel electrophoresis was used to examine the isoenzymes of alanine and asparate aminotransferases from samples of T. vivax collected from naturally infected Nigerian cattle. Experimentally infected cattle sheep and goats were also studied. Three patterns, termed Sets 1,2 and 3, differed in both enzymes. The stability of the enzyme patterns was generally confirmed in experimental animals. The results are discussed in relation to subspeciation in T. vivax.Keywords
