Questionnaire-based survey on the distribution and incidence of canine babesiosis in countries of Western Europe

Parasite, 2014
The incidence of canine babesiosis may vary considerably from one country to another depending on the distribution of the causative parasite species and their specific vectors.

Human babesiosis – a little-known tick-borne disease

Pediatria i Medycyna Rodzinna, 2015
Babesiosis is an infectious, tick-borne disease caused by the parasitic species of Babesia. Transmission via blood transfusion or transplacental infections are much rarer.

Canine Babesioses in noninvestigated areas of Serbia [PDF]

, 2015
During the years 2012-2014, a total of 158 outdoor dogs from Pančevo and Đurđevo (northern Serbia) and Niš and Prokuplje (southern Serbia) were submitted to molecular analyses (PCR and sequencing) for canine babesioses. An overall prevalence of 21.5% was

Mixed Cold and Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Following Babesiosis in an Immunocompromised Patient

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Babesiosis is a tick-borne infection diagnosed by characteristic intracellular inclusions on peripheral blood smears. While nonimmune hemolytic anemia is a known complication of babesiosis infection, autoimmune hemolytic anemia caused by babesiosis ...

Two Species of Canine Babesia in Australia: Detection and Characterization by PCR [PDF]

, 2003
The haemoprotozoan Babesia canis has been recognized in Australia for many years, and a second, smaller species has recently been discovered. Amplification and sequencing of a partial region of the 18S small subunit ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene enabled ...

The evolutionary dynamics of variant antigen genes in Babesia reveal a history of genomic innovation underlying host-parasite interaction [PDF]

, 2014
Babesia spp. are tick-borne, intraerythrocytic hemoparasites that use antigenic variation to resist host immunity, through sequential modification of the parasite-derived variant erythrocyte surface antigen (VESA) expressed on the infected red blood cell

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Associated With Human Babesiosis

Journal of Hematology, 2021
Babesiosis is characterized by non-autoimmune hemolytic anemia as a result of invasion of red blood cells by intraerythrocytic protozoans. Upon evaluation of patients who have ongoing hemolysis despite antibiotic treatment, a new entity of autoimmune ...

In Vitro Monitoring of Babesia microti Infection Dynamics in Whole Blood Microenvironments

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, an open microfluidic platform termed “µ‐Blood” is reported for real‐time, continuous monitoring of Babesia microti infection dynamics in vitro. µ‐Blood allows direct interrogation of whole blood with preserved integrity of the original whole blood microenvironment through an extended period (e.g., 72 h with mouse red blood cells) ex vivo. µ‐Blood

Vasculitis associated with Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis in a dog in the Netherlands

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract This report describes a case of severe, sudden‐onset, widespread vasculitis affecting a dog concurrently infected by Ehrlichia canis and Babesia canis. Following diagnostic investigations, the dog was suspected of an immune‐mediated vasculitis, possibly triggered by E. canis, B. canis or their combination. The lesions completely resolved after
