The role of parasite-derived vesicles in modulating neutrophil responses in emerging human babesiosis

Emerging Microbes and Infections
Human babesiosis is an emerging infectious disease caused by a bloodborne unicellular parasite called Babesia. One of the major species of Babesia that infects humans is Babesia microti, which is transmitted through tick bites during a blood meal.

Experimental transmission of Babesia microti by Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2016
La babésiose humaine est considérée comme une menace émergente en Chine. Des dizaines d'infections humaines par Babesia microti ont été signalées récemment, en particulier dans le sud de la Chine. Cependant, les vecteurs de transmission de ce parasite dans ces zones ne sont pas bien compris.

Establishment of Babesia vulpes n. sp. (Apicomplexa: Babesiidae), a piroplasmid species pathogenic for domestic dogs

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Canine babesiosis is a severe disease caused by several Babesia spp. A number of names have been proposed for the canine-infecting piroplasmid pathogen initially named Theileria annae Zahler, Rinder, Schein & Gothe, 2000.

Combined Immunofluorescence (IFA) and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) Assays for Diagnosing Babesiosis in Patients from the USA, Europe and Australia

Diagnostics, 2020
Apicomplexan parasites of the genus Babesia cause babesiosis in humans and animals worldwide. Human babesiosis is a predominantly zoonotic disease transmitted by hard ticks that is of increasing health concern in the USA and many other countries ...

Circulation of Babesia Species and Their Exposure to Humans through Ixodes ricinus

Pathogens, 2021
Human babesiosis in Europe has been attributed to infection with Babesia divergens and, to a lesser extent, with Babesia venatorum and Babesia microti, which are all transmitted to humans through a bite of Ixodes ricinus.

Two Species of Canine Babesia in Australia: Detection and Characterization by PCR [PDF]

, 2003
The haemoprotozoan Babesia canis has been recognized in Australia for many years, and a second, smaller species has recently been discovered. Amplification and sequencing of a partial region of the 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene enabled ...

Clinical Case and Follow‐Up of Babesia banethi Infection in a Red Fox

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
A naturally occurring Babesia banethi infection in a sick red fox was followed up for more than one year through cytology, haematobiochemical profiles and molecular analyses. Imidocarb treatment resulted in temporary clinical improvement and later relapse, whereas atovaquone/proguanil combined with azithromycin led to clinical recovery and parasite ...

Detection of Babesia microti by polymerase chain reaction [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1992
Human babesiosis, which is caused by infection with the intraerythrocytic malarialike protozoan Babesia microti, has recently been diagnosed with increasing frequency in residents of New England. Diagnosis is difficult because of the small size of the parasite and the sparse parasitemia that is characteristic of most infections with this pathogen.
