Factors affecting the component community structure of haemoparasites in bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) from the Mazury Lake District region of Poland [PDF]

, 2001
The prevalence and abundance of infections with haemoparasites were studied over a 3 year period in Clethrionomys glareolus (bank vole, n=420) sampled from forests in the NE of Poland. Total species richness was 5 (Prevalence=Haemobartonella sp.

Case Report: Concurrent Babesiosis and GCA/PMR

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2025.
Babesiosis is a tick‐transmitted infectious disease caused by parasites of the genus Babesia. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) are common interrelated inflammatory disorders. This report presents the first case of concurrent babesiosis and GCA/PMR.

A flow cytometric assessment of the lymphocyte immunophenotypes in dogs naturally infected with Babesia rossi [PDF]

, 2017
Immunity to Babesia infection requires both innate and acquired responses, including cell mediated- and humoral responses. The aims of this study were to investigate the variation in selected peripheral blood lymphocyte phenotypes in dogs with virulent ...

Activation of macrophages by extracellular vesicles derived from Babesia-infected red blood cells

Infection and Immunity
Babesia microti is the primary cause of human babesiosis in North America. Despite the emergence of the disease in recent years, the pathogenesis and immune response to B. microti infection remain poorly understood.

The Babesia observational antibody (BAOBAB) study: A cross-sectional evaluation of Babesia in two communities in Kilosa district, Tanzania.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
BackgroundBabesia, a tick-borne genus of intraerythrocytic parasites, is understudied in humans outside of established high-endemic areas. There is a paucity of data on Babesia in Africa, despite evidence that it is regionally present.

Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase of Babesia microti Is a Plasminogen- and Actin-Binding Protein

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Babesia microti, an intraerythrocytic protozoa, can cause an emerging tick-borne disease—Human babesiosis. The parasite can successfully invade host red blood cells owing to the assistance of molecules expressed by babesia.

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.

Long-term spatiotemporal stability and dynamic changes in the haemoparasite community of spiny mice (Acomys dimidiatus) in four montane wadis in the St. Katherine Protectorate, Sinai, Egypt [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Long-term field studies of parasite communities are rare but provide a powerful insight into the ecological processes shaping host-parasite interactions. The aim of our study was to monitor long-term trends in the haemoparasite communities of
