Babesia microti Infection Inhibits Melanoma Growth by Activating Macrophages in Mice
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Babesia microti is an obligate intraerythrocytic protozoan transmitted by an Ixodes tick. Infections caused by protozoa, including Plasmodium yoelii and Toxoplasma gondii, are shown to inhibit tumor development by activating immune responses.
