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.

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.

An in‐house nucleic acid test for detection of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in whole blood donor samples

Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 1122-1129, June 2026.
Abstract Background Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a tick‐borne pathogen that causes anaplasmosis. Increased incidences of this disease in Canada and cases of transfusion‐transmitted anaplasmosis in the United States have been reported. Currently, there are no Health Canada licensed methodologies available for detection of A.

A Short Term in Vitro Cultivation of Babesia rodhaini and Babesia microti.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1995
In vitro cultivation of Babesia rodhaini (BR) and Babesia microti (BM) was attempted. When RPMI1640 was supplemented with 30 or 40% of non-treated fetal bovine serum (FBS), the gas mixture of 3% CO2-8% O2 best supported the growth of both parasites. Under this optimized condition, the percent parasitized erythrocytes peaked to approximately 4- and 2 ...

Using blood donor surveillance and clinical case data to shape our understanding of Babesia epidemiology in Manitoba, Canada

Transfusion, Volume 66, Issue 5, Page 916-922, May 2026.
Abstract Background Babesia is a parasite transmitted by the Ixodes tick and has the potential to be transfusion transmitted. Climate change and changing Ixodes tick distributions in Canada raised questions about the impact of Babesia on the blood supply.

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.

Increased Borrelia burgdorferi Seroprevalence in Nova Scotia—Prevalence and Distribution 10 Years Later

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 ...
