Transplacental transmission of tick-borne Babesia microti in its natural host Peromyscus leucopus

4 May 2018

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Babesia microti is an emerging tick-borne pathogen and the causative agent of human babesiosis. Mathematical modeling of the reproductive rate of B. microti indicates that it cannot persist in nature by horizontal tick-host transmission alone. We hypothesized that transplacental transmission in the reservoir population contributes to B. microti persistence and emergence in North American rodent...
