A recombinase polymerase amplification lateral flow assay (RPA-LF) for detection of Babesia divergens-like parasites [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Babesia divergens is a tick-borne apicomplexan parasite found predominantly in Europe, causing babesiosis in livestock and occasionally in humans, with severe disease reported in immunosuppressed or asplenic individuals.

PCR detection of Babesia microti and Babesia divergens in ticks [PDF]
PCR detection of Babesia microti and Babesia divergens in ticks, 2001 application/pdf We investigated the presence of Babesia microti and B. divergens in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in a Lyme borreliosis endemic area of Northern Poland. We used as the PCR target the fragment from a gene encoding the nuclear small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SS-rDNA).

Sheep as a new experimental host for Babesia divergens [PDF]
Veterinary Research, 2002 Babesia divergens was cultivated in sheep erythrocytes in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% Fetal Calf Serum (FCS) or sheep serum. In vitro cultures in sheep red blood cells were initiated with human erythrocytes infected in vitro with B. divergens Rouen 1987 or with gerbil blood infected with several isolates from bovine origin.

Molecular Characterization of a Non–Babesia divergens Organism Causing Zoonotic Babesiosis in Europe
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 In Europe, most reported human cases of babesiosis have been attributed, without strong molecular evidence, to infection with the bovine parasite Babesia divergens.

Seroepidemiology of Bovine Babesiosis due to Babesia divergens in Tunisia
Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2004 Babesia divergens was recently isolated in Tunisia from a bovine of local breed. A serological and parasitic survey was conducted in seven sites, where biotopes were favorable to Ixodes ricinus. Results confirmed the presence of Babesia in several herds.

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.

Novel Diamidines with Activity against Babesia divergens In Vitro and Babesia microti In Vivo [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2011 ABSTRACT Dicationic diamidines, such as diminazene and pentamidine, are well-studied chemotherapeutic agents with significant activity against parasitic diseases. The in vitro activities of novel diamidine compounds against the Babesia divergens strains 1903B and 4201 were ...
