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.

Babesia divergens and Babesia microti species-specific genes that may drive pathogenesis
Infection, Genetics and EvolutionHuman babesiosis is an emerging disease as more cases are being reported worldwide. Most cases in Europe are caused by Babesia divergens, whereas most cases in North America are due to Babesia microti. While B. microti is also found throughout Europe, it appears to be less pathogenic.

A Conserved Subtilisin Protease Identified in Babesia divergens Merozoites [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2006 Invasion of erythrocytes is an integral part of the Babesia divergens life cycle. Serine proteases have been shown to play an important role in invasion by related Apicomplexan parasites such as the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Here we demonstrate the presence of two dominant serine proteases in asexual B.

Kinetics of the invasion and egress processes of Babesia divergens, observed by time-lapse video microscopy [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Based on confocal fluorescence and bright field video microscopy, we present detailed observations on the processes of invasion and egress of erythrocytes by the apicomplexan parasite Babesia divergens.

Babesia hegotelforum sp. nov., a zoonotic Babesia species previously referred to as Babesia sp. MO1 [PDF]
Emerging Microbes and InfectionsA zoonotic Babesia species previously referred to as Babesia sp. MO1 is formally described and named here as Babesia hegotelforum sp. nov. This taxon is distinct from Babesia divergens based on genome-wide sequence divergence, phylogenetic placement ...

The New Human Babesia sp. FR1 Is a European Member of the Babesia sp. MO1 Clade
Pathogens, 2021 In Europe, Babesia divergens is responsible for most of the severe cases of human babesiosis. In the present study, we describe a case of babesiosis in a splenectomized patient in France and report a detailed molecular characterization of the etiological

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.

Babesia crassa–Like Human Infection Indicating Need for Adapted PCR Diagnosis of Babesiosis, France
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 Human babesiosis in Europe is caused by multiple zoonotic species. We describe a case in a splenectomized patient, in which a routine Babesia divergens PCR result was negative. A universal Babesia spp.

Cervids as Babesiae Hosts, Slovenia
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005 We describe cervids as potential reservoir hosts of Babesia EU1 and B. divergens. Both babesial parasites were found in roe deer. Sequence analysis of 18S rRNA showed 99.7% identity of roe deer Babesia EU1 with the human EU1 strain. B. divergens detected
