PCR detection of Babesia microti and Babesia divergens in ticks [PDF]
PCR detection of Babesia microti and Babesia divergens in ticks, 2001 application/pdfWe 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

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