Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in nature, but their consequences are often difficult to evaluate in wildlife. This is particularly the case for chronic infections for which fitness impacts can be subtle or confounded with other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

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.

Molecular and in vitro characterization of a Babesia divergens-like agent from eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) on Nantucket Island [PDF]

, 2006
A Babesia sp. isolated from eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) is morphologically similar and genetically identical, based on SSU rRNA gene comparisons, to two agents responsible for human babesiosis in North America and is closely ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Mapping the Global Distribution of Babesia Infections

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Understanding the ecological niches and quantifying the disease burden of Babesia species is essential for efficient surveillance and control strategies. Through a systematic review of global distributions, we document all 250 identified Babesia species across 73 vector species, 224 animals, and humans.

Experimental Babesia Divergens Infection in Reindeer (Rangifer Tarandusj

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1965
Two non-splenectomized reindeer developed fever, icterus and haemoglobinuria after inoculation intravenously with cattle blood containing Babesia divergens. 14 and 15 days after inoculation agglutination of Babesia-containing erythrocytes from the two reindeer was observed in blood films.
