Babesia microti Infection in Man
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1977ALTHOUGH 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

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1996 Zoonotic prevalence of Babesia microti Franca piroplasms infecting white-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus Rafinesque, was determined at 34 sites in Rhode Island where nymphal blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say, densities ranged from low to ...

Morphology of Babesia microti in Human Blood Smears
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1980Blood 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.

Atovaquone in the Treatment of Babesia microti Infections in Hamsters
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1996The traditional therapy for the treatment of human Babesia microti infections has been the combination of clindamycin and quinine. However, in recent years, it has become apparent that some patients have not responded to this regimen. We became involved in the treatment of several cases of babesiosis in which atovaquone was used to treat this infection.

Babesia hylomysci and Babesia microti: Dexamethasone treatment of infected mice
Experimental Parasitology, 1984The 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.

Penetration of the peritrophic membrane of the tick by Babesia microti
Cell and Tissue Research, 1982A 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 ...

Babesia microti and Babesia hylomysci: Spleen and phagocytosis in infected mice
Experimental Parasitology, 1979The role of the spleen during Babesia microti and B. hylomysci infection was investigated by examining the course of infection in both intact and splenectomized mice. The presence of the spleen was critical during the early stages of infection to control excessive multiplication of either parasite, a role taken over by other lymphoid sites as the ...

Genotypic status of Babesia microti within the piroplasms
Parasitology Research, 2000For resolution of the controversial taxonomic status of Babesia microti in relation to other Babesia and Theileria spp. a phylogenetic analysis of an American and a German B. microti strain was performed on the basis of sequences of the small-subunit rRNA gene (rDNA) using distance-matrix, maximum-parsimony, and maximum-likelihood algorithms.
