Mitochondrial function in Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini

International Journal for Parasitology, 1998
The role of mitochondria in the energy metabolism of Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini was investigated. A variety of mitochondrial inhibitors showed greater sensitivity to B. microti than to B. rodhaini. Additionally, alpha-glycerophosphate- and succinate-cytochrome c reductase activities in the crude mitochondrial fraction from B.

Babesia microti Infections in Nonhuman Primates

The Journal of Parasitology, 1981
(x2 = 11.33, df = 2, P < 0.01). From these results, it was concluded that there was heterogeneity in allele frequencies among the populations surveyed. As shown in Table II, GPI of P. miyazakii was polymorphic in two out of the three populations (ST 1 and 2), though the level of the polymorphism was relatively low.

Babesia microti infection in man.

JAMA, 1977
ALTHOUGH 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

Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina, Babesia canis, Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini: Comparison of ribosomal RNA gene organization

International Journal for Parasitology, 1992
The three ribosomal DNA (rDNA) units have been cloned from an Australian isolate of Babesia bigemina. The organization of the units is very similar to that reported for a Mexican isolate of B. bigemina. In Babesia canis four rDNA units have been identified. Both Babesia rodhaini and Babesia microti contain two different rDNA units.

Babesia hylomysci and Babesia microti: Dexamethasone treatment of infected mice

Experimental Parasitology, 1984
The 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.

Morphology of Babesia microti in Human Blood Smears

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1980
Blood 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.

Genotypic status of Babesia microti within the piroplasms

Parasitology Research, 2000
For 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.

Babesia microti and Babesia hylomysci: Spleen and phagocytosis in infected mice

Experimental Parasitology, 1979
The 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 ...
