Macrophages are critical for cross-protective immunity conferred by Babesia microti against Babesia rodhaini infection in mice.
Although primary infection of mice with Babesia microti has been shown to protect mice against subsequent lethal infection by Babesia rodhaini, the mechanism behind the cross-protection is unknown. To unravel this mechanism, we investigated the influence of primary infection of mice with nonlethal B. microti using different time courses on the outcome of subsequent lethal B. rodhaini infection....
متن کاملInfectivity and immunogenicity of irradiated Babesia rodhaini.
SYNOPSIS. Babesia rodhaini-parasitized mouse blood exposed to varied doses of y radiation up to 30 kRad was inoculated into mice. Mice inoculated with nonirradiated B. rodhaini developed progressive infections and died 7-1 1 days postinoculation. Mice infected with B. rodhaini-parasitized blood exposed to doses up to and including 22 kRad developed progressive parasitemias which were delayed in...
متن کاملNovel diamidines with activity against Babesia divergens in vitro and Babesia microti in vivo.
Dicationic diamidines, such as diminazene and pentamidine, are well-studied chemotherapeutic agents with significant activity against parasitic diseases. The in vitro activities of novel diamidine compounds against the Babesia divergens strains 1903B and 4201 were investigated. The most potent compound, a diphenyl furan, had a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) of 1.5 ng/ml. In a murine mode...
متن کاملBabesia microti, Upstate New York
Five cases of human babesiosis were reported in the Lower Hudson Valley Region of New York State in 2001. An investigation to determine if Babesia microti was present in local Ixodes scapularis ticks yielded 5 positive pools in 123 pools tested, the first detection of B. microti from field-collected I. scapularis in upstate New York.
متن کاملTransfusion-Transmitted Babesia microti Risks Transfusion-Transmitted Babesia microti Identified Through Hemovigilance
Background: Babesia microti, a tick-borne parasite endemic to the northeast and upper Midwest, is the primary cause of human babesiosis in the United States. Although these infections are usually subclinical or self-limited in immunocompetent people, severe disease can be present in susceptible populations (including the elderly or immunocompromised). Here, infections result in hemolytic anemia...
