A flow cytometric assessment of the lymphocyte immunophenotypes in dogs naturally infected with Babesia rossi [PDF]

, 2017
Immunity to Babesia infection requires both innate and acquired responses, including cell mediated- and humoral responses. The aims of this study were to investigate the variation in selected peripheral blood lymphocyte phenotypes in dogs with virulent ...

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

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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 ...

Epitope profiling of monoclonal antibodies to the immunodominant antigen BmGPI12 of the human pathogen Babesia microti

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
The significant rise in the number of tick-borne diseases represents a major threat to public health worldwide. One such emerging disease is human babesiosis, which is caused by several protozoan parasites of the Babesia genus of which B.

Vertical Transmission ofBabesia microti, United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Babesiosis is usually acquired from a tick bite or through a blood transfusion. We report a case of babesiosis in an infant for whom vertical transmission was suggested by evidence of Babesia spp. antibodies in the heel-stick blood sample and confirmed by detection of Babesia spp. DNA in placenta tissue.

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.

Three Babesia species in Ixodes ricinus ticks from migratory birds in Sweden

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
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.

Chemotherapy of Babesia microti infections in Mongolian Jirds [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1980
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

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.

Severe Infection in an Immunocompetent Host in Pennsylvania

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2016
Babesiosis, due to infection by a tick-borne protozoan (predominantly Babesia microti in North America), is an emerging health risk that is expanding into new areas and may be unfamiliar to clinicians in locations not previously considered endemic ...
