Ecological dynamics of blacklegged ticks, vertebrate hosts, and associated zoonotic pathogens in northeastern forests

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Specific host‐tick interactions in temperate forest systems influence variation in density and infection prevalence of nymphal blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The density of infected nymphs (DIN), which is the product of nymphal infection prevalence (NIP) and density of questing nymphs (DON), influences the risk of human exposure to tick‐

Vertical Transmission ofBabesia microti, United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Babesiosis is usually acquired from a tick bite or through a blood transfusion. We report a case of babesiosis in an infant for whom vertical transmission was suggested by evidence of Babesia spp. antibodies in the heel-stick blood sample and confirmed by detection of Babesia spp. DNA in placenta tissue.

Diversity of Babesia spp. in skunks from selected states in the United States of America

Parasite
Babesia species are intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites that infect a variety of hosts. The goal of this study was to evaluate the piroplasm species present in skunks in various states in the United States and determine whether there was any geographic

Vertical Transmission of Babesia microti in BALB/c Mice: Preliminary Report.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Babesia spp. (Apicomplexa, Piroplasmida) are obligate parasites of many species of mammals, causing a malaria-like infection- babesiosis. Three routes of Babesia infection have been recognized to date.

Characterization of anti-erythrocyte and anti-platelet antibodies in hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia induced by Plasmodium spp. and Babesiaspp. infection in mice

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionMalaria and Babesiosis are acute zoonotic disease that caused by infection with the parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa. Severe anemia and thrombocytopenia are the most common hematological complication of malaria and babesiosis.

Rapid Northward Expansion of the Blacklegged Tick, Ixodes scapularis, in Response to Climate Change

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, can transmit human diseases such as Lyme disease and is exposing new human populations to this risk due to its rapid expansion into Canada. We used community science data (eTick and iNaturalist) to understand the environmental factors responsible for the distribution of I.

Development of Multiplex Assays for the Identification of Zoonotic Babesia Species

Pathogens
More than one-hundred Babesia species that affect animals and humans have been described, eight of which have been associated with emerging and underdiagnosed zoonoses. Most diagnostic studies in humans have used serology or molecular assays based on the
