Blood donor West Nile virus screening identifies three autochthonous Usutu virus infections in Spain
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

Chemotherapy of Babesia microti infections in Mongolian Jirds [PDF]
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

Splenic, Nonhairy, B‐Cell Lymphoma Presenting as Fever of Unknown Origin
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 ...

Three Babesia species in Ixodes ricinus ticks from migratory birds in Sweden
Background Migratory birds can cross geographical and environmental barriers and are thereby able to facilitate transmission of tick-borne pathogens both as carriers of infected ticks and as reservoirs of pathogenic microorganisms.
