Highlights • Babesiosis is an infectious disease that can be caused by Babesia bigemina. • Cattle infected by B. bigemina underwent in oxidative stress process. • Decrease of cholinesterase in infection by B. bigemina purpose is to inhibit inflammation. • Increase acetylcholine levels occur in bovine babesiosis, potent anti-inflammatory molecule.
