Not "out of Nantucket": Babesia microti in southern New England comprises at least two major populations.

Parasites & vectors - 10 Dec 2014

Goethert Heidi K, Telford Sam R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Deer tick-transmitted human babesiosis due to Babesia microti appears to be expanding its distribution and prevalence in the northeastern United States. One hypothesis for this emergence is the introduction of parasites into new sites from areas of long-standing transmission, such as Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. METHODS: We developed a typing system based on variable number tandem repeat loci that...
