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.

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

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

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.
