A Rare Presentation of Babesia-Associated Splenic Infarction in an Immunocompetent Young Male With Mild Parasitemia. [PDF]

Case Rep Med
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.

Mental Status Changes in Severe Babesiosis

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2023
Babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by an intraerythrocyte protozoon. We present a unique case of a patient who was infected with babesiosis and subsequently developed severely altered mental status, which dramatically improved after erythrocyte ...

Genome-wide diversity and gene expression profiling of Babesia microti isolates identify polymorphic genes that mediate host-pathogen interactions [PDF]

, 2016
Babesia microti, a tick-transmitted, intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite circulating mainly among small mammals, is the primary cause of human babesiosis.

Reduced Cholesterol Levels during Acute Human Babesiosis

Pathogens, 2023
Background: Babesiosis, an intra-erythrocytic protozoan disease, is an emerging zoonotic parasitic disease worldwide. Cholesterol levels are correlated with severe infections, such as sepsis and COVID-19, and anecdotal reports suggest that high-density ...

Human Babesia microti Incidence and Ixodes scapularis Distribution, Rhode Island, 1998–2004

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Distribution of nymphal Ixodes scapularis in Rhode Island was used as a logistical regressor for predicting presence of human babesiosis. Although the incidence of babesiosis is increasing in southern Rhode Island, large areas of the state are free of ...

Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]

, 2017
Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and

Monitoring Human Babesiosis Emergence through Vector Surveillance New England, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
Human babesiosis is an emerging tick-borne disease caused by the intraerythrocytic protozoan Babesia microti. Its geographic distribution is more limited than that of Lyme disease, despite sharing the same tick vector and reservoir hosts.
