In vitro cultivation of Babesia duncani (Apicomplexa: Babesiidae), a zoonotic hemoprotozoan, using infected blood from Syrian hamsters (Mesocricetus auratus) [PDF]

Parasitology Research, 2019
Human babesiosis, a tick-borne disease similar to malaria, is most often caused by the hemoprotozoans Babesia divergens in Europe, and Babesia microti and Babesia duncani in North America. Babesia microti is the best documented and causes more cases of human babesiosis annually than all other agents combined.

Transport of Babesia venatorum-infected Ixodes ricinus to Norway by northward migrating passerine birds [PDF]

, 2011
Background Bovine babesiosis is regarded as a limited health problem for Norwegian cows, and the incidence has decreased markedly since the 1930s. Rare cases of babesiosis in splenectomised humans from infection with Babesia divergens and

Blood parasites of sheep in the Netherlands. II.Babesia motasi(Sporozoa, Babesiidae)

Veterinary Quarterly, 1980
A large Babesia species occurs in sheep on the North Sea islands of the Netherlands. The tick Haemaphysalis punctata is a vector. Its pathogenicity appears to be low. It is morphologically similar to a Turkish strain, considered to be B. motasi, which is also transmitted by Haemaphysalis ticks. It differs from the Turkish parasite serologically as well

Detection of Babesia caballi and Theileria equi in Blood from Equines from Four Indigenous Communities in Costa Rica

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
A cross‐sectional study was carried out in four indigenous communities of Costa Rica to detect presence and prevalence of Babesia caballi and Theileria equi and to investigate factors associated with presence of these hemoparasites. General condition of horses (n = 285) was evaluated, and hematocrits and hemoglobin were determined from blood samples of

Changes in erythrocytopoesis indices in dogs with babesiosis

Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2018
Babesiosis is a common disease in dogs. Babesia canis (Piana & Galli-Valerio, 1895) (Sporozoa, Babesiidae) causes the destruction of erythrocytes, resulting in hypotensive shock and total tissue damage due to lack of oxygen. Because of babesiosis, anemia

Oxidative Stress Control by Apicomplexan Parasites

BioMed Research International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Apicomplexan parasites cause infectious diseases that are either a severe public health problem or an economic burden. In this paper we will shed light on how oxidative stress can influence the host‐pathogen relationship by focusing on three major diseases: babesiosis, coccidiosis, and toxoplasmosis.

Propagation de parasites transportés avec leurs hôtes : cas exemplaires de deux espèces de tiques du bétail [PDF]

, 2010
Les tiques, comme tous les parasites, peuvent facilement être disséminées avec leurs hôtes. Parasites obligatoires de vertébrés auxquels elles sont fixées pendant une période plus ou moins longue, elles sont bien adaptées à ce mode de transport. Une fois

Molecular Prevalence of Babesia bigemina and Trypanosoma evansi in Dairy Animals from Punjab, India, by Duplex PCR: A Step Forward to the Detection and Management of Concurrent Latent Infections

BioMed Research International, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Specific duplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was employed on 411 (386 cattle and 25 buffaloes) blood samples of dairy animals from 9 districts of Punjab, India, for simultaneous detection of Babesia bigemina and Trypanosoma evansi. The results were compared and correlated with conventional Giemsa stained thin blood smear (GSTBS) examination and ...

A new piroplasmid species infecting dogs: Morphological and molecular characterization and pathogeny of Babesia negevi n. sp. [PDF]

, 2020
Introduction: Babesiosis is a protozoan tick-borne infection associated with anemia and life-threatening disease in humans, domestic and wildlife animals. Dogs are infected by at least six well-characterized Babesia spp.

Coinfection ofIxodes scapularis(Acari: Ixodidae) Nymphs WithBabesiaspp. (Piroplasmida: Babesiidae) andBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Wisconsin

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021
AbstractBorrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that causes Lyme disease, is endemic and widespread in Wisconsin. Research in the northeastern United States has revealed a positive association between Babesia microti, the main pathogen that causes babesiosis in humans, and Bo. burgdorferi in humans and in ticks.
