Survey for Babesia spp. in wildlife in the eastern United States

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Babesia is a diverse genus of piroplasms that parasitize the red blood cells of a wide variety of mammals and avian species, including humans. There is a lack of knowledge on the Babesia species of carnivores and mesomammals in the eastern United States ...

Development of an Enzymatic Recombinase Amplification Assay for the Rapid Detection of Plasmodium Nucleic Acids

iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 182-190, June 2025.
The detection rate of enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA) was better than that of the rapid diagnostic test. The ERA assay was more convenient than fluorescence quantitative PCR. The ERA assay can be used as a complementary tool for malaria screening and clinical diagnosis.

Anaplasma Phagocytophilum, a Zoonotic Vector‐Borne Bacterial Species in Rodents and Its Associated Tick Vector: Systematic Review

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
A. phagocytophilum infections have been detected from various rodent hosts and the associated ticks from different sites throughout the globe. Ixodes ticks were the most frequent tick observed in the studies, followed by Dermacentor tick and Haemaphysalis tick species. Apodemus rodent species were frequently observed, followed by Microtus spp.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.
