Transmission of a Babesia species to susceptible cattle by Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi ticks picked off a sable which died of acute babesiosis is described. The parasite was initially isolated by feeding R. e. evertsi ticks on a susceptible, splenectomised bovine which developed parasitaemia. Blood stabilate from the parasitaemic bovine produced a fatal babesiosis in a spleen--intact bovine. ...

transfusion-associated cases were reported throughout the year, underscoring the need for constant awareness. The 2 cases of probable congenital infection highlight the need to consider Babesia infection for newborns who have compatible clinical manifestations, especially if the mother had risk factors for infection. Prompt identification of babesiosis is essential to prevent disease transmissi...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate usefulness of PCR assay for the diagnosis of atypical cases of the Babesia canis infections. Primers designed based on the 18 S RNA gene sequence of B. canis. The location of the primers was targeted to evolutionary conserved region. Blood samples from dogs suspected for babesiosis were analysed microscopically and then by PCR. The PCR assay showed h...

The etiological agents that cause human babesiosis (Babesia microti) and Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi) share a common tick vector (Ixodes scapularis Say) and rodent reservoir (Peromyscus leucopus), but because the geographical distribution of babesiosis is more restricted than Lyme disease, it was not considered a nationally notifiable disease until 2011. Although recent studies have show...

Proteinuria, and renal tubular casts and epithelial cells in urine sediment, are commonly observed in both complicated and uncomplicated babesiosis, but do not necessarily reflect or predict renal failure. This study investigated the presence and degree of renal damage in canine babesiosis. Renal function and integrity were evaluated using serum urea and creatinine, serum electrolytes (sodium a...

Parasitic diseases, like babesiosis and theileriosis are transmitted by ticks: their occurrence is therefore linked to the size of the tick stock and the seasonality of the vectors. Babesia divergens bovine babesiosis transmitted by Ixodes ricinus is widespread and often reported in France. Serological prevalence is high, ranging from 20 to 80% according to the farms. Clinical incidence is low:...

Dogs are one of the pet animals that have a loyal nature and widely cared for in community. It is not uncommon dogs to often play parks or outdoor environments surrounded by grass with their owners. The breeding ground ticks, which can be vectors disease carriers dogs. Babesiosis caused Babesia sp. transmitted tick vectors. In this paper, we will discuss clinical condition, diagnosis, treatment...
