Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Activities of artesunate-based combinations and tafenoquine against Babesia bovis in vitro and Babesia microti in vivo

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Babesiosis represents a veterinary and medical threat, with a need for novel drugs. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT) have been successfully implemented for malaria, a human disease caused by related parasites, Plasmodium spp. The aim of this

Babesia nucleic acid prevalence among blood donors in southern Québec

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Tick‐borne diseases are on the rise in Canada, and southern Québec is considered one of the highest‐risk regions for Babesia emergence. Babesia is easily transmissible through blood transfusion and was the most common transfusion‐transmitted infection in the United States before the implementation of nucleic acid testing (NAT) in ...

Behavioral and Morphological Adaptations of Tortoise Tick Hyalomma aegyptium to Testudo graeca: Evidence for Complex Evolutionary History

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study, we examined the infestation characteristics of the tick species Hyalomma aegyptium on its specific host, the spur‐thighed tortoise Testudo graeca, to investigate the principles of behavioral and morphological adaptation and its ecological consequences.

Development of an Enzymatic Recombinase Amplification Assay for the Rapid Detection of Plasmodium Nucleic Acids

iLABMED, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 182-190, June 2025.
The detection rate of enzymatic recombinase amplification (ERA) was better than that of the rapid diagnostic test. The ERA assay was more convenient than fluorescence quantitative PCR. The ERA assay can be used as a complementary tool for malaria screening and clinical diagnosis.

Anaplasma Phagocytophilum, a Zoonotic Vector‐Borne Bacterial Species in Rodents and Its Associated Tick Vector: Systematic Review

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
A. phagocytophilum infections have been detected from various rodent hosts and the associated ticks from different sites throughout the globe. Ixodes ticks were the most frequent tick observed in the studies, followed by Dermacentor tick and Haemaphysalis tick species. Apodemus rodent species were frequently observed, followed by Microtus spp.

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.
