Prevalence of Babesia microti Co-Infection with Other Tick-Borne Pathogens in Pennsylvania [PDF]

Microorganisms
Babesia microti is a protozoan that infects red blood cells, causing hemolytic anemia and flu-like symptoms in humans. Understanding co-infections is crucial for the better diagnosis, treatment, and management of tick-borne diseases.

Proteomic Identification and Functional Analysis of Babesia microti Reveals Heparin-Binding Proteins. [PDF]

J Trop Med
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) molecules on the surface of red blood cells play an important regulatory role in the invasion of merozoites of apicomplexan protozoa. Heparan sulfate, a type of GAG molecule, has been identified as an important receptor facilitating the invasion of red blood cells by these parasites.
