No evidence for widespread Babesia microti transmission in Australia [PDF]

Transfusion, 2019
BACKGROUND: A fatal case of autochthonous Babesia microti infection was reported in Australia in 2012. This has implications for Australian public health and, given that babesiosis is transfusion transmissible, has possible implications for Australian ...

A Set of Rapid Diagnostic Tool for Babesia microti Infection. [PDF]

J Clin Lab Anal
This 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 Review of Zoonotic Babesiosis as an Emerging Public Health Threat in Asia

Pathogens, 2021
Zoonotic babesiosis poses a serious health risk in many parts of the world. Its emergence in Asia is thus a cause for significant concern, demanding that appropriate control measures are implemented to suppress its spread in this region.

Presence and Identity Of Babesia Microti In Ireland

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2023
Babesia microti is a tick-transmitted protozoan parasite of wildlife that can also cause serious disease in humans. It is now well established that B. microti represents an assemblage of different strains or species, only some of which are important zoonotic pathogens.

Establishment of a stable transfection method in Babesia microti and identification of a novel bidirectional promoter of Babesia microti [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractBabesia microti, an emerging human pathogen, is primarily transmitted through a bite of an infected tick and blood transfusions in human. Stable transfection technique has been reported in many protozoan parasites over the past few years. However, in vivo transient and stable transfection method has not been established for Babesia microti ...
