Enzootic Babesia microti in Maine

Journal of Parasitology, 2003
Human babesiosis in the northeastern United States caused by Babesia microti (Apicomplexa: Piroplasmida) is mainly reported from coastal New England sites, where deer ticks (Ixodes dammini) are common. However, the piroplasm has been detected in microtine rodents elsewhere in association with I.

Transfusion-Transmitted Babesia microti

Transfusion Medicine Reviews, 2016
Because testing of donors for Babesia microti has become available, it is important to determine the kinds of patients who should receive B microti-tested blood. We searched PubMed, AABB abstracts, and FDA Web site to identify all cases of transfusion-transmitted babesiosis (TTB).

Babesia microti Infection in Europe

Current Microbiology, 2004
The majority of babesia infections in Europe are life-threatening and caused by Babesia divergens and B. bovis. Although Babesia microti has been detected in ticks from Switzerland, few if any cases of babesiosis have been caused by B. microti. This first reported case, diagnosed by serology, DNA detection, and microscopy, is additionally interesting ...

Mitochondrial function in Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini

International Journal for Parasitology, 1998
The role of mitochondria in the energy metabolism of Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini was investigated. A variety of mitochondrial inhibitors showed greater sensitivity to B. microti than to B. rodhaini. Additionally, alpha-glycerophosphate- and succinate-cytochrome c reductase activities in the crude mitochondrial fraction from B.

Babesia microti Infections in Nonhuman Primates

The Journal of Parasitology, 1981
(x2 = 11.33, df = 2, P < 0.01). From these results, it was concluded that there was heterogeneity in allele frequencies among the populations surveyed. As shown in Table II, GPI of P. miyazakii was polymorphic in two out of the three populations (ST 1 and 2), though the level of the polymorphism was relatively low.

Babesia microti Infection in Man

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977
ALTHOUGH infections caused by members of the protozoan genus Babesia have been recognized in animals since the 19th century, the first human case of babesiosis was not described until 1957. 1 A total of 12 human infections have been reported in the literature to date 2 ; three of these have been fatal. We report here a case of Babesia microti infection

No evidence for widespread Babesia microti transmission in Australia [PDF]

Transfusion, 2019
BACKGROUNDA fatal case of autochthonous Babesia microti infection was reported in Australia in 2012. This has implications for Australian public health and, given that babesiosis is transfusion transmissible, has possible implications for Australian blood transfusion recipients. We investigated the seroprevalence of antibodies to B.

Penetration of the peritrophic membrane of the tick by Babesia microti

Cell and Tissue Research, 1982
A peritrophic membrane (PM) has been demonstrated in the gut of feeding larvae, nymphs, and adults of the tick Ixodes dammini. This is the first report of a PM in ticks. This temporary structure divides the lumen of the gut into two compartments, an endoperitrophic space, the lumen proper, and an ectoperitrophic space located between the PM and the ...

Morphology of Babesia microti in Human Blood Smears

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1980
Blood smears from 13 patients infected with Babesia microti were reviewed to define the range of morphologic characteristics of the organism. Organisms resembling rings of Plasmodium falciparum were the predominant forms in all patients' blood smears. Babesia microti and Plasmodium spp.

Babesia hylomysci and Babesia microti: Dexamethasone treatment of infected mice

Experimental Parasitology, 1984
The effect of dexamethasone on Babesia hylomysci and B. microti was investigated in LACA mice. The drug enhanced both infections by depressing the immune mechanisms of the host when treatment was initiated before parasite inoculation, but had no effects on established and subpatent infections.
