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 ...

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

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.

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.

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.
