Babesia microti—Borrelia burgdorferi Coinfection [PDF]

Pathogens, 2019
The incidence and geographic distribution of human babesiosis is growing in the U.S. Its major causative agent is the protozoan parasite, Babesia microti. B. microti is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of Ixodes scapularis ticks, which are vectors for a number of other pathogens. Other routes of B.

Babesia microti, Upstate New York

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
Five cases of human babesiosis were reported in the Lower Hudson Valley Region of New York State in 2001. An investigation to determine if Babesia microti was present in local Ixodes scapularis ticks yielded 5 positive pools in 123 pools tested, the first detection of B. microti from field-collected I. scapularis in upstate New York.

Babesia microtiInfection, Eastern Pennsylvania, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Infection with Babesia microti has not been well-described in eastern Pennsylvania, USA, despite the vector of this organism being prevalent. We report 3 cases of babesiosis in eastern Pennsylvania in persons without recent travel outside the region or history of blood transfusions, suggesting emergence of this infection.

Molecular Detection, Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Babesia microti Infecting Wild Rodents. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Blood samples from 284 rodents captured across seven districts of Pakistan were screened for Babesia microti using 18S rRNA PCR. Overall prevalence was 12%, with infection detected in Rattus rattus, Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus. Phylogenetic analysis showed close similarity with global isolates.

Molecular Prevalence and Genotype Detection of Babesia microti in Multiple Wild Rodent Species and Suncus murinus From Subtropical Mountainous Regions of South-Central Zhejiang, China. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Human babesiosis, an emerging zoonosis with ongoing geographic expansion, is primarily caused by Babesia microti, a tick‐borne apicomplexan parasite that resides within host erythrocytes. While small mammals serve as its recognized reservoir hosts, the relative contribution of sympatric wild rodents and shrews in subtropical mountain endemic areas of ...

Two Species of Canine Babesia in Australia: Detection and Characterization by PCR [PDF]

, 2003
The haemoprotozoan Babesia canis has been recognized in Australia for many years, and a second, smaller species has recently been discovered. Amplification and sequencing of a partial region of the 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene enabled ...

PCR detection of Babesia microti and Babesia divergens in ticks [PDF]

PCR detection of Babesia microti and Babesia divergens in ticks, 2001
application/pdf We investigated the presence of Babesia microti and B. divergens in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in a Lyme borreliosis endemic area of Northern Poland. We used as the PCR target the fragment from a gene encoding the nuclear small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SS-rDNA).
