Abstract Mortality events of marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) have been historically described in the southern margins of its geographical range. Few documented cases show how environmental changes and pathogens interact to trigger mortality scenarios and reveal their causes.

Bovine babesiosis (Babesia bovisinfection) in Zambia
Two cases of Babesia bovis, a parasite associated with the tick Boophilus microplus, are reported for the first time from the central part of Zambia. It is concluded that infected B. microplus ticks are occasionally introduced into central Zambia by tick-infested cattle from the north-eastern part of the country where B. bovis is endemic. The spread of

Severe Thrombocytopenia Secondary to Babesiosis: A Case Report
A 76‐year‐old man with a history of atrial fibrillation treated with warfarin, renal calculi with a history of lithotripsy, hypertension, anxiety, and diabetes mellitus with recent tick exposure presented with abdominal pain, fatigue, nausea, and fever with chills. Workup revealed thrombocytopenia and hemolysis.

Bovine babesiosis caused by Babesia species is an economically significant disease of cattle. Severe clinical babesiosis in cattle is caused by Babesia bovis, B. bigemina, and the recently discovered Babesia sp. Mymensingh. Mongolia is an agricultural country with a large cattle inventory. Although previous studies have detected active infections of B.

Proteomic Identification and Functional Analysis of Babesia microti Reveals Heparin‐Binding Proteins
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) molecules on the surface of red blood cells play an important regulatory role in the invasion of merozoites of apicomplexan protozoa. Heparan sulfate, a type of GAG molecule, has been identified as an important receptor facilitating the invasion of red blood cells by these parasites.

Situation actuelle des hémoparasitoses bovines en Martinique (Antilles françaises) [PDF]
Une enquête sérologique par immunofluorescence indirecte pour les babésioses bovines (Babesia bovis et B. bigemina) et par agglutination pour l'anaplasmose bovine, indique que ces hémoparasitoses sont largement répandues en Martinique.

A novel modified-indirect ELISA based on spherical body protein 4 for detecting antibody during acute and long-term infections with diverse Babesia bovis strains [PDF]
Cattle sera positive by the RAP-1-based cELISA but negative by the SBP4-based MI-ELISA and IFA had negative results by Western blot analysis, suggesting possible false positive results in the cELISA. A. Molecular weight marker (48 to 180 Kd), B. K42-#21,

Stable transformation of Babesia bigemina and Babesia bovis using a single transfection plasmid [PDF]
AbstractBabesia bigeminaandBabesia bovis, are the two major causes of bovine babesiosis, a global neglected disease in need of improved methods of control. Here, we describe a shared method for the stable transfection of these two parasites using electroporation and blasticidin/blasticidin deaminase as a selectable marker.

Mapping the Global Distribution of Babesia Infections
Understanding the ecological niches and quantifying the disease burden of Babesia species is essential for efficient surveillance and control strategies. Through a systematic review of global distributions, we document all 250 identified Babesia species across 73 vector species, 224 animals, and humans.

Protection of Babesia bigemina-immune animals against subsequent challenge with virulent Babesia bovis [PDF]
Two groups of cattle, one previously exposed to Babesia bigemina and one not, were challenged with Babesia bovis. The group previously infected with Babesia bigemina was only mildly affected upon challenge with B. bovis, whereas four of five of the other group were severely affected.
