Blood smear analysis is especially useful for diagnosing five infectious diseases: babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, relapsing fever due to Borrelia infection, malaria, and American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease). It should be performed in patients with persistent or recurring fever or in those who have
The structure, historical development and major research problems confronting veterinary parasitology in the U.S.A. are reviewed 100 years after the cooperative federal-state experiment station system was authorized through passage of the Hatch Act by the U.S. Congress in 1887. The story of Texas
The same techniques may be used in the complement fixation test (CFT) for the serological diagnosis of bovine brucellosis, Johne's disease (paratuberculosis), dourine, equine piroplasmosis and Q fever (caused by Coxiella burnetii). The reproducibility of results is excellent, falling for the most
BACKGROUND
Cattle fever ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and R. (B.) annulatus, vector bovine and equine babesiosis, and have significantly expanded beyond the permanent quarantine zone established in South Texas. Currently, there are no vaccines approved for use within the United States
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the value of PCR assays to determine the genotypes of Babesia bovis in cattle with clinical signs of babesiosis within 3 weeks after vaccination against tick fever.
METHODS
Samples from 5 cases of babesiosis in cattle soon after vaccination against tick fever were analysed
Fevers of unknown origin (FUOs) are defined as prolonged fevers of 101 degrees F or greater lasting 3 or more weeks that remain undiagnosed after comprehensive inpatient/outpatient laboratory testing. Tick-borne infections are uncommon causes of FUOs. Any infectious disease accompanied by prolonged
Human babesiosis (Nantucket fever) is a rare, tick-borne intraerythrocytic parasitic disease characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy, arthralgias, and hemolytic anemia. A 34-year-old woman, who had previously undergone surgical removal of her spleen, was hospitalized because of presumed hepatitis.
Babesiosis is a malaria-like, tick-transmitted zoonosis caused by protozoa of the family Piroplasmorida, which includes Babesia and Theileria species. In the United States, the infection is endemic in the Northeast and upper Midwest, although cases have recently been described in Northern California
Babesiosis is an emerging infection most commonly acquired from a tick bite. We describe three hospitalized patients with fever attributable to babesiosis after a splenectomy. Splenectomy was done because of splenic enlargement due to unsuspected babesia infection in one patient and because of
Canine and bovine babesiosis are compared with particular reference to the occurrence of relapses and some immunological aspects of the diseases. Intact dogs resemble splenectomized cattle in respect of the relatively frequent occurrence of clinical relapses of babesiosis. The possible reasons for
