1. Babesia is a parasite that attacksred blood cells. There are three ways Babesia spreads: 1) Through the bite of the blacklegged tick (or deer tick,Ixodes scapularis—the same tick that carries Lyme/B. burgdorferi); 2) Through blood transfusions with contaminated donated blood; 3) From ...

remained were sort of mutant Borrelia because they were missing a couple of proteins that they might need to infect other animals. The researchers knew this because the clean ticks that bit them gotB. burgdorferi, but when they had those ticks bite healthy mice, those mice didn’t get ...

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is endemic in twenty-seven European countries, transmitted via the bite of an infected tick. TBEV is the causative agent of one of the most important viral diseases of the central nervous system (CNS). In Germany, 890 human cases were registered between th...
Few tick bite controls had elevated levels of C3a (2/20) or C4a (5/24) and only 1 of the healthy control subjects had elevated C3a (0/46) or C4a (1/32). The authors concluded that these findings suggested that C3a and C4a may be useful markers of LD in patients seen shortly ...
Vector-borne diseases constitute 17% of all infectious diseases in the world; among the blood-feeding arthropods, ticks transmit the highest number of pathogens. Understanding the interactions between the tick vector, the mammalian host and the pathogens
