The differentiation of Babesia rodhaini, Babesia microti and Babesia muratovi infecting mice on the basis of morphology, pathogenicity and serology

, 1980
Methods for differentiating Babesia rodhaini, B. microti and B. muratovi were examined. The parasites were injected into mice and the course of infection and morphology of the parasites studied by the use of thin blood smears stained by Giemsa's stain.

Evidence for vesicle-mediated antigen export by the human pathogen Babesia microti

Life Science Alliance, 2019
The human pathogen Babesia microti undergoes unique morphogenesis during its development within human and mouse red blood cells and uses a novel vesicle-based system for export of antigens into the host cell and environment.

Behavioral and Morphological Adaptations of Tortoise Tick Hyalomma aegyptium to Testudo graeca: Evidence for Complex Evolutionary History

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study, we examined the infestation characteristics of the tick species Hyalomma aegyptium on its specific host, the spur‐thighed tortoise Testudo graeca, to investigate the principles of behavioral and morphological adaptation and its ecological consequences.

Prevalence of Babesia microti in Free-Ranging Baboons and African Green Monkeys

, 2011
Babesia microti-like parasites have been reported to infect captive non-human primates (NHPs). However, studies on the prevalence of Babesia spp. in free-ranging NHPs are lacking. This investigation aimed at determining the prevalence of B.

Detection and characterization of an emerging type of Babesia sp. similar to Babesia motasi for the first case of human babesiosis and ticks in Korea

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2019
Babesiosis is a tick-transmitted intraerythrocytic zoonosis. In Korea, the first mortalities were reported in 2005 due to Babesia sp. detection in sheep; herein we report epidemiological and genetic characteristics of a second case of babesiosis ...

Acquired immunity to Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini in mice

Parasitology, 1969
Mice infected with Babesia rodhaini can be cured with a single injection of Diampron and are immune to challenge with the same species. Mice infected with B. microti recover naturally from their infections and are also immune to challenge. The immunity extends to the heterologous species in both infections.
