Babesia divergens–like Infection, Washington State
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Most reported U.S. zoonotic cases of babesiosis have occurred in the Northeast and been caused by Babesia microti. In Washington State, three cases of babesiosis have been reported previously, which were caused by WA1 (for “Washington 1”)-type parasites.

Probable Locally Acquired Babesia divergens–Like Infection in Woman, Michigan, USA [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 We report an asplenic patient who was infected with Babesia divergens–like/MO-1. The clinical course was complicated by multiorgan failure that required intubation and dialysis.

Failure of BCG to protect calves against Babesia divergens infection [PDF]
Nature, 1977 THE possible use of nonspecific immunity to control Babesia infections has not been much examined. Cattle treated with Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (1.25 µg per kg live weight) immediately before infection with B. argentina ( =B. bovis) were slightly more resistant than controls1.

A Standardized Culture Medium for Comparative Drug Efficacy Evaluation Across Plasmodium and Babesia Species [PDF]
Bio-ProtocolThe discovery of broad-spectrum antiparasitic agents relies on the ability to evaluate drug efficacy under harmonized in vitro conditions across related species. However, current drug screening pipelines for intraerythrocytic parasites are constrained by

Circulation of Babesia Species and Their Exposure to Humans through Ixodes ricinus
Pathogens, 2021 Human babesiosis in Europe has been attributed to infection with Babesia divergens and, to a lesser extent, with Babesia venatorum and Babesia microti, which are all transmitted to humans through a bite of Ixodes ricinus.
