Human babesiosis: Recent discoveries
Medicinski pregled, 2004 Introduction Babesiosis is caused by intraerythrocytic parasites of the genus Babesia, which is a common animal infection worldwide. This protozoa requires both a competent vertebrate and a nonvertebrate host (Ixodes sp. etc.) to maintain the transmission cycle.

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Blood Parasite Infections and Impacts on Avian Health and Reproduction
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.ABSTRACT Parasitic infections are ubiquitous in nature, but their consequences are often difficult to evaluate in wildlife. This is particularly the case for chronic infections for which fitness impacts can be subtle or confounded with other intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Severe human Babesia divergens infection in Norway
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015 Human babesiosis is a rare but potentially life-threatening parasitic disease transmitted by ixodid ticks, and has not previously been reported in Norway. We report a case of severe babesiosis that occurred in Norway in 2007.

In Vitro Monitoring of Babesia microti Infection Dynamics in Whole Blood Microenvironments
Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 41, November 6, 2025.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

Prevalence and Identification of Livestock Tick by Sex Ratio and Host in Tehran Province
Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.This study identified tick species infesting livestock and poultry in Tehran Province, revealing a female‐biased sex ratio and sheep as the most infested hosts. Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato was the dominant species. These findings underscore the need for host‐targeted tick control to mitigate disease transmission and economic losses.

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 11, Page 2159-2177, November 2025.Population genetics reveals how ticks interact with hosts, microbiomes and environments. This review guides researchers in choosing the best tool for the job, weighing cost, resolution, reproducibility and throughput to study tick population structure. Abstract Ticks are ectoparasites of major medical, veterinary and ecological importance, transmitting

Transient Transfection of the Zoonotic Parasite Babesia microti
Pathogens, 2020 The development of genetic manipulation techniques has been reported in many protozoan parasites over the past few years. However, these techniques have not been established for Babesia microti. Here, we report the first successful transient transfection
