False Positive Babesia microti Result in New-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Manifesting With Febrile Illness. [PDF]

Cureus
False positive serologic results are common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) due to the presence of autoantibodies. We present a case of a young patient initially suspected of having a tick-borne disease with a false positive Babesia microti ...

A Rare Presentation of Babesia‐Associated Splenic Infarction in an Immunocompetent Young Male With Mild Parasitemia

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Babesiosis is a vector‐borne protozoal disease primarily transmitted by the Ixodes scapularis tick, though it can also be transmitted through blood transfusions from infected donors. The illness can be asymptomatic or present with mild flu‐like symptoms.

Antiparasitic Potential of Bioactive Compounds From Punica granatum: Preventive and Therapeutic Effects

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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.

Characterization of anti-erythrocyte and anti-platelet antibodies in hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia induced by Plasmodium spp. and Babesiaspp. infection in mice

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionMalaria and Babesiosis are acute zoonotic disease that caused by infection with the parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa. Severe anemia and thrombocytopenia are the most common hematological complication of malaria and babesiosis.

Ecological and Epidemiological Consequences of Tick‐Control Interventions in Residential Neighborhoods: A Synthesis of The Tick Project

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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.

Diversity of Babesia spp. in skunks from selected states in the United States of America

Parasite
Babesia species are intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites that infect a variety of hosts. The goal of this study was to evaluate the piroplasm species present in skunks in various states in the United States and determine whether there was any geographic

Vertical Transmission of Babesia microti in BALB/c Mice: Preliminary Report.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Babesia spp. (Apicomplexa, Piroplasmida) are obligate parasites of many species of mammals, causing a malaria-like infection- babesiosis. Three routes of Babesia infection have been recognized to date.

Ecological dynamics of blacklegged ticks, vertebrate hosts, and associated zoonotic pathogens in northeastern forests

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 12, December 2025.
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‐

Development of Multiplex Assays for the Identification of Zoonotic Babesia Species

Pathogens
More than one-hundred Babesia species that affect animals and humans have been described, eight of which have been associated with emerging and underdiagnosed zoonoses. Most diagnostic studies in humans have used serology or molecular assays based on the
