Persistence of Babesia microti Infection in Humans [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens, 2019
Persistent infection is a characteristic feature of babesiosis, a worldwide, emerging tick-borne disease caused by members of the genus Babesia. Persistence of Babesia infection in reservoir hosts increases the probability of survival and transmission of

Technologies for Detection of Babesia microti: Advances and Challenges [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
The biology of intraerythrocytic Babesia parasites presents unique challenges for the diagnosis of human babesiosis. Antibody-based assays are highly sensitive but fail to detect early stage Babesia infections prior to seroconversion (window period) and cannot distinguish between an active infection and a previously resolved infection.

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.
