What Babesia microti Is Now [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 Parasites from diverse hosts morphologically identified as Babesia microti have previously been shown to belong to a paraphyletic species complex. With a growing number of reports of B. microti-like parasites from across the world, this paper seeks to report on the current knowledge of the diversity of this species complex. Phylogenetic analysis of 18S

Persistence of Babesia microti Infection in Humans [PDF]
Pathogens, 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 these pathogens.

A Set of Rapid Diagnostic Tool for Babesia microti Infection. [PDF]
J Clin Lab AnalThis study develops a cross‐priming amplification combined with vertical flow visualization (CPA‐VF) assay for rapid, low‐cost detection of Babesia microti, achieving a detection limit of 2.56 fg/reaction (equivalent to 0.000004% parasitic red blood cells) with 95.5% sensitivity and specificity compared to nested PCR.

In Vitro Monitoring of Babesia microti Infection Dynamics in Whole Blood Microenvironments. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Here, an open microfluidic platform termed “µ‐Blood” is reported for real‐time, continuous monitoring of Babesia microti infection dynamics in vitro. µ‐Blood allows direct interrogation of whole blood with preserved integrity of the original whole blood microenvironment through an extended period (e.g., 72 h with mouse red blood cells) ex vivo. µ‐Blood

A Novel Thioredoxin-Like Protein of Babesia microti Involved in Parasite Pathogenicity
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Babesiosis poses a serious threat to immunocompromised individuals and the major etiological species of Babesia for human babesiosis is Babesia microti. Merozoites are a critical stage in the life cycle of Babesia microti. Several merozoite proteins have
