21 paź 2024 · Babesiosis is a blood-borne disease found mainly in the United States caused by a parasitic piroplasm. While most infections are mild to moderate in immunocompetent hosts, life-threatening complications can occur in those with significant comorbidities like congestive heart failure (CHF) or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Babesiosis is a zoonotic disease of humans caused by the hemoprotozoan piroplasm parasite “ Babesia.” The primary reservoir hosts are usually the rodents, primarily the white-footed mice.
15 lut 2023 · Babesiosis is an emerging tick-borne disease caused by intraerythrocytic protozoa that are primarily transmitted by hard-bodied (ixodid) ticks and rarely perinatally, through blood transfusion and organ transplantation [2, 3].
New Babesia species have been identified globally, suggesting that the epidemiology of this disease is rapidly changing, making it clear that human babesiosis is a serious public health concern that requires close monitoring and effective intervention measures.
21 cze 2012 · This review article discusses the epidemiology, transmission, clinical manifestations, parasite life cycle, immunology, diagnosis, and treatment of babesiosis, a tickborne zoonosis.
9 paź 2013 · Although best known as an animal disease, human babesiosis is attracting increasing attention as a worldwide emerging zoonosis. Humans are commonly infected by the bite of ixodid ticks. Rare ways of transmission are transplacental, perinatal and transfusion-associated.
