Sorbitol‐Induced Synchronisation of Babesia duncani and Assessment of Linoleic Acid Effect on Parasite‐Derived Vesicles

Parasite Immunology, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Human babesiosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by a bloodborne single‐celled parasite belonging to the genus Babesia. Cases of human babesiosis are commonly reported in the United States, Western Europe and Asia. In the United States, the two major causative agents are Babesia microti and Babesia duncani.

Babesia nucleic acid prevalence among blood donors in southern Québec

Transfusion, Volume 65, Issue 10, Page 1798-1802, October 2025.
Abstract Background Tick‐borne diseases are on the rise in Canada, and southern Québec is considered one of the highest‐risk regions for Babesia emergence. Babesia is easily transmissible through blood transfusion and was the most common transfusion‐transmitted infection in the United States before the implementation of nucleic acid testing (NAT) in ...

Babesiosis Presenting as Acute Liver Failure

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2017
Babesiosis is a zoonotic, tick-borne infection caused by the protozoan Babesia. It is transmitted by the Ixodes ticks which transmit the infection to humans. Babesia microti, Babesia duncani, Babesia divergens, and Babesia venatorum are species that have

Structural and Functional Characterization of the 28 kDa Structured Core of BmSA1, the Major Surface Antigen of Babesia Microti

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1657-1671, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Babesiosis is a tick‐borne disease that poses a significant threat to animal health worldwide. In addition, climate change and the risk of human‐to‐human transmission through blood transfusion have made babesiosis an emerging disease in humans.

Effect of protease inhibitors on the intraerythrocytic development of Babesia microti and Babesia duncani, the causative agents of human babesiosis

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Human babesiosis is a malaria‐like, tick‐borne infectious disease with a global distribution. Babesiosis is caused by intraerythrocytic, apicomplexan parasites of the genus Babesia. In the United States, human babesiosis is caused by Babesia microti and Babesia duncani.

Molecular diagnosis of Theileria and Babesia species infecting cattle in Northern Spain using reverse line blot macroarrays

BMC Veterinary Research, 2006
Background Piroplasmosis in cattle is caused by tick-borne haemoprotozoan parasites of the genera Theileria and Babesia. Molecular detection techniques offer higher sensitivity and specificity than microscopy examination methods and serological tests.

Babesia divergens: cloning and biochemical characterization of Bd37

Parasitology, 2002
The immunoprotective potential of Babesia divergens antigens released in supernatants of in vitro cultures of the parasite is generally known. Among a number of parasite molecules, a 37 kDa protein has been found in the supernatants of Babesia divergens cultures.

Temporal Changes in Tick‐Borne Pathogen Prevalence in Questing Ixodes ricinus Across Different Habitats in the North‐Eastern Italian Alps

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 6, December 2024.
This study examines the prevalence of tick‐borne pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks in the north‐eastern Italian Alps. It found an average infection rate of 27.1%, with 11 zoonotic pathogens identified, showing varying infection rates across different years and habitats.

Babesia Species Detected in Deer from Southwest England

Pathogens
Babesia species have been detected in deer across Europe, and deer grazing in the same location as livestock may increase the risk of transmission of species such as the parasite B. divergens.
