Diseases caused by parasites are a global public health problem. Due to their heterogeneity and diversity, they can affect various hosts, and some diseases are considered zoonotic. Therapeutic control in parasitic diseases has lost its effectiveness over the last decades.

Babesiosis poses a serious threat to immunocompromised individuals and the major etiological species of Babesia for human babesiosis is Babesia microti. Merozoites are a critical stage in the life cycle of Babesia microti. Several merozoite proteins have

Controlling populations of Ixodes ticks has emerged as a core strategy for reducing human exposure to tick‐borne infections. Several means of reducing the size of the tick population using chemical and biological acaricides show promise in field trials and are frequently used commercially in North America and Europe.

Laboratory Evidence for Transovarial Transmission of Babesia gibsoni by Haemaphysalis longicornis
Babesia gibsoni is a globally distributed tick‐borne apicomplexan parasite that threatens dog health, yet its transmission dynamics in Haemaphysalis longicornis remain incompletely defined. Under controlled laboratory conditions, a Babesia‐free parthenogenetic H. longicornis colony was used to evaluate transovarial transmission, transmission competence

Babesia microti is an emerging zoonotic protozoan organism that causes “malaria-like” symptoms that can be fatal in immunocompromised people. Owing to lack of specific therapeutic regiment against the disease, we cloned and characterized B.

Abstract Specific host‐tick interactions in temperate forest systems influence variation in density and infection prevalence of nymphal blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The density of infected nymphs (DIN), which is the product of nymphal infection prevalence (NIP) and density of questing nymphs (DON), influences the risk of human exposure to tick‐

Frequency of Piroplasms Babesia microti and Cytauxzoon felis in Stray Cats from Northern Italy [PDF]
Emerging diseases caused by piroplasms pose a health risk for man and other animals, and domestic cats have been proposed as potential reservoirs for some piroplasm infections. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency of the piroplasms Babesia

Acquired immunity to Babesia microti and Babesia rodhaini in mice
Mice infected with Babesia rodhaini can be cured with a single injection of Diampron and are immune to challenge with the same species. Mice infected with B. microti recover naturally from their infections and are also immune to challenge. The immunity extends to the heterologous species in both infections.

Babesia divergens and Babesia microti species-specific genes that may drive pathogenesis
Human babesiosis is an emerging disease as more cases are being reported worldwide. Most cases in Europe are caused by Babesia divergens, whereas most cases in North America are due to Babesia microti. While B. microti is also found throughout Europe, it
