A Set of Rapid Diagnostic Tool for Babesia microti Infection

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 20, October 2025.
This study develops a cross‐priming amplification combined with vertical flow visualization (CPA‐VF) assay for rapid, low‐cost detection of Babesia microti, achieving a detection limit of 2.56 fg/reaction (equivalent to 0.000004% parasitic red blood cells) with 95.5% sensitivity and specificity compared to nested PCR.

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

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.

Molecular detection of tick-borne bacteria and protozoa in cervids and wild boars from Portugal [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Wildlife can act as reservoir of different tick-borne pathogens, such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. The aim of the present study was to assess the presence of tick-borne bacteria and protozoa with veterinary and zoonotic importance in ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Autoimmunity in transfusion babesiosis: a spectrum of clinical presentations. [PDF]

, 2010
Transfusion-acquired babesiosis can be an asymptomatic or self-limited febrile hemolytic illness in a healthy host. A persistent, relapsing, and/or fulminant course with the development of life-threatening complications may be seen in immunocompromised ...

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.

Hemoprotozoa of domestic animals in France: Prevalence and molecular characterization [PDF]

, 2009
Very limited information is available on epizootiology of haematozoan infections in French domestic animals. In an attempt to address this issue, prevalence of piroplasmida was studied in carnivores and ruminants, whereas prevalence of Hepatozoon spp ...
