Why is Babesia not killed by artemisinin like Plasmodium?
Parasites & Vectors, 2023 Babesia spp. are intraerythrocytic apicomplexans that digest and utilize red blood cells in a similar way to intraerythrocytic Plasmodium spp., but unlike the latter, are not sensitive to artemisinin.

Babesiosis Presenting as Acute Liver Failure
Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 2017 Babesiosis is a zoonotic, tick-borne infection caused by the protozoan Babesia. It is transmitted by the Ixodes ticks which transmit the infection to humans. Babesia microti, Babesia duncani, Babesia divergens, and Babesia venatorum are species that have

The Common Shrew (Sorex araneus): A neglected host of tick-borne infections? [PDF]
, 2011 Although the importance of rodents as reservoirs for a number of tick-borne infections is well established, comparatively little is known about the potential role of shrews, despite them occupying similar habitats.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites. They are important vectors for many pathogens, of both medical and veterinary importance. Antibiotic residues in animal food are known, but very little is known about the effects of antibiotic residues in ...

Technologies for Detection of Babesia microti: Advances and Challenges
Pathogens, 2021 The biology of intraerythrocytic Babesia parasites presents unique challenges for the diagnosis of human babesiosis. Antibody-based assays are highly sensitive but fail to detect early stage Babesia infections prior to seroconversion (window period) and ...
