Chemotherapy of Babesia microti infections in Mongolian Jirds [PDF]
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1980 For identifying drugs which might be effective in the treatment of human Babesia microti infections, 20 selected antiprotozoal agents or combinations of agents were tested for activity against B. microti in Mongolian jirds (meriones unguiculatus). 4-Methyl-primaquine and aromatic diamidines, including diminazene and pentamidine, were the most effective

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 164-168, March 2026.ABSTRACT Lyme disease (LD), a tick‐borne infection, is endemic in Nova Scotia. One decade ago, the seropositivity rate to Borrelia burgdorferi was 2/1855 (0.14%). In the current study, using residual sera representing ages 10–64 years, we demonstrate an increase in seroprevalence, to 25/1872 (1.60%), with the highest seroprevalence in the western area ...

Blood donor West Nile virus screening identifies three autochthonous Usutu virus infections in Spain
Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 56-62, January 2026.Abstract Background Considering the increase of West Nile virus (WNV) circulation in Europe, blood banks perform WNV Nucleic Acid Test testing to ensure transfusion safety during the WNV transmission season. Usutu virus (USUV), an arbovirus related to WNV, has relevant molecular and serological cross‐reactivity with WNV. Study Design and Methods During

Development of droplet digital PCR for the detection of Babesia microti and Babesia duncani [PDF]
Experimental Parasitology, 2015 Babesia spp. are obligate protozoan parasites of red blood cells. Transmission to humans occurs through bites from infected ticks or blood transfusion. Infections with B. microti account for the majority of the reported cases of human babesiosis in the USA. A lower incidence is caused by the more recently described species B. duncani.

Splenic, Nonhairy, B‐Cell Lymphoma Presenting as Fever of Unknown Origin
Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a common diagnostic dilemma faced by internists on a fairly regular basis. A wide variety of infectious, autoimmune, and neoplastic conditions can present with FUO. Splenic B‐cell lymphoma/leukemia with prominent nucleolus (SBLPN), formerly known as hairy cell leukemia‐variant, is a hematologic malignancy that often ...

Immunodepression inBabesia microtiinfections
Parasitology, 1977 Infection with the avirulent piroplasmBabesia microtiin mice is accompanied by a marked depression in the ability of the mice to mount an immune response to sheep red blood cells. The period of immunodepression begins 3 days after peak parasitaemia and is maximal 4 days later.
