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.

Sinop Yöresinde Kirsal Kesimde Yaşayan Insanlarda Babesia microti Seroprevalansi.

, 2010
Babesia species are blood parasites which transmitted by ticks and located in erythrocytes. Babesia divergens in Europe and Babesia microti in America are the most significant etiologic agents of human babesiosis cases.

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.

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.

First Report of Babesia microti-Caused Babesiosis in Spain [PDF]

, 2016
Babesiosis is an emerging zoonosis now found in several areas of the world. Using PCR and indirect immunofluorescence assay, we have diagnosed the first case of human babesiosis caused by Babesia microti in Spain.

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.

Enzyme Actitivies Related to Glucose Metabolism in Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1995
A comparative study was carried out on the glucose metabolism in Babesia microti (BM) and Babesia rodhaini (BR) by analyzing the enzyme activities. The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in BM showed significantly lower values than that in BR, whereas citrate synthase (CS) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activities were remarkably higher in BM.

Investigation of Babesia microti in small rodents in Europe

, 2019
Although Babesia microti is main causative agent of human babesiosis in the USA, serological evidence of B. microti infection have been reported in Europe. Recently, two asymptomatic cases of human infection with B.
