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

Transfusion, EarlyView.
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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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
