Detection and transstadial passage of babesia species and borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in ticks collected from avian and mammalian hosts in Canada

, 2019
Lyme disease and human babesiosis are the most common tick-borne zoonoses in the Temperate Zone of North America. The number of infected patients has continued to rise globally, and these zoonoses pose a major healthcare threat.

Comparison and phylogenetic analysis of the heat shock protein 70 gene of Babesia parasites from dogs

, 2007
The heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) genes of Babesia gibsoni, B. canis canis, B. canis vogeli, and B. canis rossi isolated from infected dogs were cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced.

An epidemiological survey of zoonotic Babesia species in questing ticks in Hokkaido, Japan, using a newly developed PCR-sequencing approach

Human babesiosis caused by tick-borne zoonotic Babesia species is a public health concern. However, the absence of diagnostic assays for several Babesia species limits surveillance efforts, leading to knowledge gap on endemic species and vectors.

Occurrence of Babesia species in captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in Germany

, 2015
Two cases of acute babesiosis in captive reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in two German zoos in 2009 and 2012 triggered this study to investigate the occurrence and species diversity of Babesia parasites infecting reindeer in different zoos and deer parks in

Small Mammals as reservoir hosts for the novel vector-borne pathogen Babesia odocoilei

UndergraduateIn recent years, concern has risen over vector-borne diseases, especially in the northeastern US. Babesiosis, typically caused by Babesia microti, was recently found to also be caused by Babesia odocoilei.

Babesia odcocoilei Abounds in Canada: Anaplasma phagocytophilumis Scarce

Multiple healthcare providers contend that anaplasmosis is the second most prevalent tick-borne zoonotic disease across Canada. However, in reality, human babesiosis caused by B. odocoilei is in second place.

Molecular and in vitro characterization of a Babesia divergens-like agent from eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) on Nantucket Island [PDF]

, 2006
A Babesia sp. isolated from eastern cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus floridanus) is morphologically similar and genetically identical, based on SSU rRNA gene comparisons, to two agents responsible for human babesiosis in North America and is closely ...
