Acquired immunity to Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini in mice
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.

Guidelines for the Detection of Babesia and Theileria Parasites. [PDF]
The genera Babesia and Theileria (phylum Apicomplexa, order Piroplasmida) are mainly transmitted by Ixodid ticks in which the sexual part of their life cycle followed by sporogony takes place.

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

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]
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

A Short Term in Vitro Cultivation of Babesia rodhaini and Babesia microti.
In vitro cultivation of Babesia rodhaini (BR) and Babesia microti (BM) was attempted. When RPMI1640 was supplemented with 30 or 40% of non-treated fetal bovine serum (FBS), the gas mixture of 3% CO2-8% O2 best supported the growth of both parasites. Under this optimized condition, the percent parasitized erythrocytes peaked to approximately 4- and 2 ...
