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 ...

Local variation in endoparasite intensities of bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus )from ecologically similar sites: morphometric and endocrine correlates [PDF]

, 2002
Much interest has centred recently on the role of adaptive trade-offs between the immune system and other components of life history in determining resistance and parasite intensities among hosts.

Immunodepression inBabesia microtiinfections

Parasitology, 1977
Infection with the avirulent piroplasmBabesia microtiin mice is accompanied by a marked depression in the ability of the mice to mount an immune response to sheep red blood cells. The period of immunodepression begins 3 days after peak parasitaemia and is maximal 4 days later.

Azotemia and Mortality among Babesia microti–Like Infected Dogs [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2004
Babesia microti‐like piroplasms are a recently recognized cause of illness in dogs in northwest Spain. Our objective was to describe the clinical characteristics and investigate the risk factors for azotemia and death among 58 B microti‐like infected dogs. Twenty‐one of the 58 (36%) dogs were azotemic at the time that the infection was diagnosed.

Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]

, 2017
Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and

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.
