Roles of the Maltese cross form in the development of parasitemia and protection against Babesia microti infection in mice. (1/65)

Babesia microti, a hemoprotozoan parasite of rodents, is also important as a zoonotic agent of human babesiosis. The Maltese cross form, which consists of four masses in an erythrocyte, is characteristic of the developmental stage of B. microti. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) 2-1E, which specifically recognizes the Maltese cross form of B. microti, has been described previously. In the present study, we examined the roles of the Maltese cross form during the infectious course of B. microti in mice. The number of the Maltese cross form increased in the peripheral blood of infected mice prior to the peak of parasitemia. With confocal laser scanning microscopy, MAb 2-1E was found to be reactive with the ring form, with the parasites undergoing transformation to the Maltese cross form and subsequent division, and also with extracellular merozoites. Furthermore, the Maltese cross form-related antigen (MRA) gene was isolated from a B. microti cDNA library by immunoscreening with MAb 2-1E, and the nucleotide sequence was determined. Genomic analyses indicated that the MRA gene exists as a single-copy gene in B. microti. Immunization of mice with recombinant MRA induced significant protective immunity against B. microti infection. These findings indicate that the Maltese cross form plays important roles in both the development of parasitemia and the protective response against the infection.  (+info)

The prevalence of piroplasms in a population of Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) from north-western Poland. (2/65)

Developmental forms of Babesia spp. were studied in isolated salivary glands of Ixodes ricinus, subjected to the Feulgen reaction. The same ticks were also hosts to Babesia microti, which was determined by PCR amplification with primers specific to the fragment of a gene encoding the nuclear small sub-unit ribosomal RNA (SS-rDNA). Presence of Babesia spp. was recorded in the salivary glands of 59.9% of ticks collected, both in nymphs and adults. PCR reactions specific to Babesia microti were positive in 1.9% of nymphs.  (+info)

Transfusion-associated babesiosis after heart transplant. (3/65)

We describe a 54-year-old spleen-intact man with transfusion-associated Babesia microti infection after a heart transplant. Adult respiratory distress syndrome developed in the patient, and he required mechanical ventilation. Our experiences with this patient suggest that babesiosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of transplant patients who have fever and hemolytic anemia.  (+info)

Identification and characterization of putative secreted antigens from Babesia microti. (4/65)

The need for improved diagnostic reagents to identify human long-term carriers of the zoonotic parasite Babesia microti is evidenced by numerous reported cases of transfusion-acquired infections. This report describes the identification and initial characterization of 27 clones representing seven genes or gene families that were isolated through serological expression cloning by using a technique that we specifically designed to screen for shed antigens. In this screen, sera from B. microti-infected SCID mice, putatively containing secreted or shed antigens from the parasites, were harvested and used to immunize syngeneic immunocompetent mice (BALB/c). After boosting, the sera from the BALB/c mice, containing antibodies against the immunodominant secreted antigens, were used to screen a B. microti genomic expression library. Analyses of the putative peptides encoded by the novel DNA sequences revealed characteristics indicating that these peptides might be secreted. Initial serological data obtained with recombinant proteins and a patient serum panel demonstrated that several of the proteins could be useful in developing diagnostic tests for detection of B. microti antibodies and antigens in serum.  (+info)

Increasing health burden of human babesiosis in endemic sites. (5/65)

Human infection due to Babesia microti has been regarded as infrequent and a condition primarily affecting the elderly or immunocompromised. To determine whether risk in endemic sites may be increasing relative to that of Borrelia burgdorferi and to define its age-related clinical spectrum, we carried out a 10-year community-based serosurvey and case finding study on Block Island, Rhode Island. Less intensive observations were conducted in nearby sites. Incidence of babesial infection on Block Island increased during the early 1990s, reaching a level about three-fourths that of borrelial infection. The sera of approximately one-tenth of Block Island residents reacted against babesial antigen, a seroprevalence similar to those on Prudence Island and in southeastern Connecticut. Although the number and duration of babesial symptoms in people older than 50 years of age approximated those in people 20 to 49 years of age, more older adults were admitted to hospital than younger adults. Few Babesia-infected children were hospitalized. Babesial incidence at endemic sites in southern New England appears to have risen during the 1990s to a level approaching that due to borreliosis.  (+info)

Age-associated decline in resistance to Babesia microti is genetically determined. (6/65)

BACKGROUND: Although infection by the protozoan Babesia microti is rarely symptomatic in immunocompetent young people, healthy individuals aged >50 years may experience life-threatening disease. To determine the basis for this age relationship, we developed a mouse model of babesiosis using a novel clinical isolate of B. microti. METHODS: Mice were infected at 2, 6, 12, or 18 months. Parasitemia was monitored on Giemsa-stained blood smears or by flow cytometry. RESULTS: In DBA/2 mice, early and persistent parasitemias increased with age at infection. BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were resistant, regardless of age, which indicates that allelic variation determines resistance to B. microti. Unlike immunocompetent mice, SCID mice, which retain an innate immune system but lack the lymphocytes needed for adaptive immunity, developed high and persistent levels of parasitemia that were markedly reduced by transfer of naive BALB/c or DBA/2 splenocytes. BALB/c cells reduced the persistent parasitemia to a greater extent than did age-matched DBA/2 cells. Of importance, there was an age-associated loss of protection by cells of both strains. CONCLUSION: The resistance to B. microti infection conferred by the adaptive immune system is genetically determined and associated with age. We postulate that there are age-related differences in the expression of alleles critical for adaptive immunity to B. microti.  (+info)

Survey of rodents and ticks in human babesiosis emergence area in Japan: first detection of Babesia microti-like parasites in Ixodes ovatus. (7/65)

Babesia microti-like parasites were detected for the first time in Ixodes ovatus in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, where two reported types of B. microti-like parasites were recognized in many rodents. Of 80 adult I. ovatus ticks collected, 5 possessed the reported type and 1 possessed a new type of B. microti-like parasite.  (+info)

Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella spp., Babesia microti, and Anaplasma phagocytophila in Ixodes scapularis ticks collected in Northern New Jersey. (8/65)

PCR analysis of Ixodes scapularis ticks collected in New Jersey identified infections with Borrelia burgdorferi (33.6%), Babesia microti (8.4%), Anaplasma phagocytophila (1.9%), and Bartonella spp. (34.5%). The I. scapularis tick is a potential pathogen vector that can cause coinfection and contribute to the variety of clinical responses noted in some tick-borne disease patients.  (+info)

Abstract To learn more about the course of Babesia microti infections in primates, six Macaca mulatta monkeys with blood-induced B. microti infections were followed for 270 days with regular thick blood smears. Three of the monkeys experienced from 1-3 recurrences of parasitemia defined here as ⩾200 organisms/mm3 blood. Following splenectomy on day 297, parasitemia recurred in all animals, reaching levels of 1.9 × 105 to 2.7 × 106 organisms/mm3, and was associated with a moderately severe hemolytic anemia. These findings suggest that similar recurrences of parasitemia may occur in human cases, and that splenectomy may present a risk to persons with a past history of B. microti infection.

Abstract The nature of resistance to a primary infection with Babesia microti (Peabody strain) was studied in lethally irradiated, bone marrow- and/or thymocyte-reconstituted BALB/c mice. Mice depleted of T lymphocytes by thymectomy, lethal irradiation, and reconstitution with anti-theta serum-treated bone marrow cells developed significantly higher parasitemias than sham-thymectomized, lethally irradiated mice reconstituted with thymocytes alone. Natural resistance to B. microti could be partially restored to T lymphocyte-depleted mice by transfer of spleen cells depleted of B lymphocytes by treatment with anti-immunoglobulin serum. The greatest resistance to infection among lethally irradiated mice, however, was observed when T lymphocytes were given to mice with intact thymuses. The return of the spleen to normal size after enlargement resulting from infection with B. microti was shown to be a T cell-mediated response. Twenty days after peak parasitemia, the total cell and leucocyte numbers in the

Data presented by Herwaldt and colleagues also suggest that the number and frequency of transfusion-associated babesiosis cases are rapidly increasing. Whereas only 7 (4%) cases were reported during the initial 11 years (1979 to 1989) of study, 122 (77%) cases occurred from 2000 to 2009. This precipitous increase is corroborated by recently published reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Rhode Island Blood Center, American Red Cross, and the New York City Department of Mental Health and Hygiene (7-10). The observed increase in cases raises the question of whether the parasites endemic range is expanding, if prospective donors are becoming infected more frequently, or if physicians and hospitals are more attuned to potential Babesia infections in blood recipients. As with many questions regarding emerging infectious agents, this is difficult to answer, but the explanation is probably multifactorial. Studies to define the geographic spread of the parasite are limited but should ...

Theileria microti - WikipediaTheileria microti - Wikipedia
Theileria microti is a parasitic blood-borne piroplasm transmitted by deer ticks. T. microti is responsible for the disease human theileriosis, similar to babesiosis, a malaria-like disease which also causes fever and hemolysis. T. microti lives in red blood cells, and is an important transfusion-transmitted infectious organism. Between 2010 and 2014 it caused four out of fifteen (27%) of transfusion-transmitted microbial infections[where?] (the highest of any single organism). An important difference from malaria is that T. microti does not infect liver cells. Additionally, the piroplasm is spread by tick bites (Ixodes scapularis, the same tick that spreads Lyme disease), while the malaria protozoans are spread via mosquito. Finally, under the microscope, the merozoite form of the T. microti lifecycle in red blood cells forms a cross-shaped structure, often referred to as a Maltese cross, whereas malaria forms more of a diamond ring structure in red blood cells. Until 2006 T. microti was ...

A serologic test can be used as an adjunct in the diagnosis of babesiosis or in seroepidemiologic surveys of the prevalence of the infection in certain populations. Babesiosis is usually diagnosed by observing the organisms in infected RBCs on Giemsa-stained thin blood films of smeared peripheral blood.. Serology may be useful if the parasitemia is too low to detect or if the infection has cleared naturally or following treatment.. Serology may also be useful in the follow-up of documented cases of babesiosis or if chronic or persistent infection is suspected.. ...

Move over, Lyme disease: Another tick-borne illness is on the rise in various parts of the country, and this one can kill.. Known as babesiosis, the disease is caused by a microscopic parasite that attacks blood cells, causing flu-like symptoms that can make it difficult to accurately diagnose. Like Lyme disease, which is caused by bacteria, babesia microti parasites are carried by deer ticks.. First documented in Massachusetts in 1969, the once-obscure babesiosis has surfaced as a significant public health threat in parts of the Northeast and Upper Midwest over the last several years. A recent study in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, revealed that between 2001 and 2008 cases climbed from six to 119 in New Yorks Lower Hudson Valley - a 20-fold regional increase..

An Unexpected Virus ReservoirAn Unexpected Virus Reservoir
These results indicate that it may not be as easy to eradicate dangerous viruses as had been assumed. For eliminating an infectious agent perma¬nently from the population by means of vaccination requires that there are no animal hosts from which a new infection might come. In bats, we assume that there is a vast reservoir of such agents, said Drosten. If the vaccination campaigns are stopped once a virus has been eradicated, this might present a potential risk - maybe we will have to rethink. This is why Drosten advocates taking into account ecological data when planning vaccination campaigns. Eradicating bats or other wild animals would be neither possible nor sensible. Bats and other small wild mammals are of immeasurable value for our planets ecosystems, Drosten summarized his and his colleagues unanimous opinion ...

Unfortunately, Nash and Kobe have had very little time on the court together to be able to work things out.. Whether or not Kobe actually demanded that Nash call him instead of the other way around is up for question. Kobe may be hard to deal with sometimes, but this story would be one of the more petty moves in Kobes career if it turned out to be true.. [divide].

No one knows how Kobes body will respond this time next year, and that could have a major impact on his decision when that time comes.. For the time being, 2016 still looks to be the year that Kobe will hang it up. Regardless of whether he does or doesnt, the Lakers will need to have his successor in place by that time.. [divide].

Babesiosis is an emerging health risk in several parts of the world. However, little is known about the prevalence of Babesia in malaria-endemic countries. The area along the China-Myanmar border in Yunnan is a main endemic area of malaria in P.R. China, however, human infection with Babesia microti (B. microti) is not recognized in this region, and its profile of co-infection is not yet clear. To understand its profile of co-infections with B. microti, our investigation was undertaken in the malaria-endemic area along the China-Myanmar border in Yunnan between April 2012 and June 2013. Four parasite species, including B. microti, Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), P. vivax, and P. malariae, were identified among 449 suspected febrile persons detected by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay based on small subunit ribosomal ribonucleic acid (RNA) genes of B. microti and Plasmodium spp. Of all the collected samples from febrile patients, mono-infection with B. microti, P. vivax, P. falciparum,

Babesia microti is not known to infect other cells in the body, said Dr. Herwaldt. In contrast to some types (species) of malaria parasites, B. microti is not known to have dormant stages in the liver that can reactivate and cause relapses.. Dr. Herwaldt said most patients respond well to the available treatments for Babesiosis, which should be diagnosed and treated by a qualified healthcare provider. Each patients case and care should be individualized. CDC is happy is assist health departments and physicians who have questions in such regards.. For Mr. Omer, a regimen of antibiotics followed by heavy supplements of iron and B12 helped to eradicate the infection and replenish his blood cells. Other Babesiosis patients are sometimes treated with quinine, an old hedge against malaria the British purportedly found so hard on the palate that they cut it with gin, introducing the gin and tonic. Though he is now cured of Babesiosis, Mr. Omer confesses it took him down a peg. He hasnt felt ...

WA1-infected mice developed dyspnea and moderate parasitemias, after which death occurred. Babesia microti-infected mice experienced low parasitemias with no apparent morbidity or mortality. WA1-infected mice were thrombocytopenic but not anemic. Hemograms for B. microti-infected mice were similar to controls. Postmortem examination of WA1-infected mice revealed ...

As ticker said. Night sweats are hallmark with babesia. Bart and lyme can have night sweats too but they are slightly more pronounced with babesia. They can become severe on the 3rd or 4th day of babesia treatment. Meds such as bactrim, biaxin, doxy or plaquenil are mildly anti-babesia so they can calm many of the babs symptoms but the babesia is almost always still there. This can sometimes fool the patient or doctor. Some other symptoms to accompany babesia are depression, lack of appetite, sometimes liver pain, losing your breath just going up a short flight of stairs, skin itching on the back of neck etc. But im sure you know. Lyme and bartonella can cause some of these symptoms also, that was my reason for the treat them all regardless approach. And im still not 100% convinced that mepron/zithromax or malarone/zithromax is the answer. Very little research has been done on babesia so we dont know everything.

Microbiology Society Journals | Staphylococcus microti sp. nov., isolated from the common vole (Microtus arvalis)Microbiology Society Journals | Staphylococcus microti sp. nov., isolated from the common vole (Microtus arvalis)
Two strains of Gram-positive cocci were isolated from viscera of common voles (Microtus arvalis Pallas) with generalized Brucella microti infection in the Czech Republic. Biochemical features and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains are representatives of the genus Staphylococcus and assigned Staphylococcus muscae as the nearest relative. A detailed characterization done by ribotyping, rpoB and hsp60 gene sequencing, whole-cell protein analysis and rep-PCR using the (GTG)5 primer differentiated the two strains from all described staphylococci. DNA-DNA hybridization with the type strain of S. muscae demonstrated that the two strains should be considered as members of a novel species (26.8 % reassociation). The two analysed strains were found to be coagulase-negative, novobiocin-susceptible, oxidase-negative cultures, phenotypically close to one another, but showing differences in ribotype profiles. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0, anteiso-C15

Dog Breeds And Their Individual TraitsDog Breeds And Their Individual Traits
Just as there are people who are rare in the world of human beings, there are dogs that stand out in the dog world because of something unusual about them. Basenji Did you know there is a dog who cannot bark? He is called a Basenji. No one knows why he does not bark like other dogs, but this fellow gives sharp little cries that sound like a Swiss yodel. Because he did not bark to frighten the game away, and because be had such a very keen sense of smell that he could scent as far as eighty yards, he was used long ago in Africa to hunt rats, to retrieve, and to drive small wild game into nets.

CowpeaCowpea
Cowpea is a warm-season, annual, herbaceous legume. Plant types are often categorized as erect, semi-erect, prostrate (trailing), or climbing. There is much variability within the species. Growth habit ranges from indeterminate to fairly determinate with the non-vining types tending to be more determinate. Cowpea generally is strongly taprooted. Root depth has been measured at 95 in. 8 weeks after seeding.. Cowpea seed ranges in size from the very small wild types up to nearly 2 in. long and the number of seeds per pounds range from 1600 to 4300. Seed shape is a major characteristic correlated with seed development in the pod. Seeds develop a kidney shape if not restricted within the pod. When seed growth is restricted by the pod the seed becomes progressively more globular.. The seed coat can be either smooth or wrinkled and of various colors including white, cream, green, buff, red, brown, and black. Seed may also be speckled, mottled, or blotchy. Many are also referred to as eyed (blackeye, ...

Peregrine no sooner learned the danger of his trusty squire, than, snatching up his sword, he ran down-stairs, and was followed by the chevalier, entreating him to leave the affair to his management. Within ten yards of the door they found Tom, with his back to a wall, defending himself with a mopstick against the assault of three or four soldiers, who, at sight of the Maltese cross, desisted from the attack, and were taken into custody by order of the knight. One of the aggressors, being an Irishman, begged to be heard with great importunity before he should be sent to the guard; and, by the ...

20 Second Timeout: Kobe Bryant: Perception Versus Reality20 Second Timeout: Kobe Bryant: Perception Versus Reality
Bryants field goal percentage is hovering around the .410 mark, which would be a career low. This is the main statistical ax that critics grind against Bryant, saying that he is more focused on winning the scoring title than making his team better. But that argument has flaws, according to Carter. Any time a guy is a volume-shooting guy like Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson, the shooting percentage is going to be down because they attract a lot more defensive attention. Spot-up shooters or stand-still shooters, plays are run for them and thats basically all they can do, spot up and shoot, so they get open shots and knock them down. People kind of get confused with field goal percentages and the quality of the baskets that you make. Kobe makes a lot of quality baskets. I dont look at his field goal percentage. I look at the productivity of his shots in terms of the fourth quarter and what shots he makes then ...

Lakers coaching search: Candidate needs to know how to use Kobe Bryant | Inside the LakersLakers coaching search: Candidate needs to know how to use Kobe Bryant | Inside the Lakers
It appears a no-brainer that Bryant remains the Lakers focal point after cementing an 18-year career that has spanned five NBA championships and a fourth place standing on the leagues all-time scoring list. But Bryant, who has two years left on his $48.5 million contract, will turn 36 in August and faces plenty of uncertainty surrounding his health. He missed the first 19 games last season while healing his left Achilles tendon. Bryant played in six games before suffering a season-ending left knee fracture. Bryant scoffed at Mike DAntonis fast-paced system, preferring a more methodical offense that featured him more in the post. Kupchak conceded as much when he analyzed what the best way to use Bryant will entail. Hes become most effective where you see a lot of him posting up, Kupchak said. I think you will see the ball in his hands making plays. At the end of games, hes going to have the ball in his hands. Hes going to get a call and hes going to make free throws. The Kobe today is ...
