Zoonotic <i>Babesia microti</i> in the northeastern U.S.: evidence for the expansion of a specific parasite lineage

2017-11-21

Abstract excerpt

The recent range expansion of human babesiosis in the northeastern United States, once found only in restricted coastal sites, is not well understood. This study sought to utilize a large number of samples to examine the population structure of the parasites on a fine scale to provide insights into the mode of emergence across the region. 228 B. microti samples collected in endemic northeastern U.S. sites were ge...
