ABSTRACT A new type of rodent babesia, which resembled Babesia microti but was
phylogenetically placed closest, with the highest level of statistical support, to Babesia canis …

An asymptomatic Babesia infection was confirmed by laboratory diagnoses. The
intraerythrocytic protozoan (designed TW1) isolated from a 51-year-old Taiwanese woman …

Detection and analysis of Babesia species from ticks recovered from dogs in Japan were

We report on the first case of human babesiosis in Korea. The intraerythrocytic parasite
(KO1) in the patient's blood mainly appeared as paired pyriforms and ring forms; but Maltese …

Babesiosis is a tick-transmitted intraerythrocytic zoonosis. In Korea, the first mortalities were
reported in 2005 due to Babesia sp. detection in sheep; herein we report epidemiological …

We have carried out epizootiologic surveys at various sites in Japan to investigate wild
animals that serve as reservoirs for the agents of human babesiosis in the country. Small …

Field rodent surveys for Babesia infection were performed from 2002 to 2005 in the vicinities
of human babesiosis occurrences in Taiwan and mainland China. Babesia microti was …

To determine the source of infection for the Japanese index case of human babesiosis, we
analyzed blood samples from an asymptomatic individual whose blood had been transfused …

Babesiosis is an emerging, tick-transmitted, zoonotic disease caused by hematotropic
parasites of the genus Babesia. Most cases of Babesial infections in humans have been …

Intraerythrocytic Babesia-like trophozoites were seen in postmortem kidney sections of a
free-roaming cat in Hong Kong. DNA sequences of the 18S rRNA and mitochondrial …
