intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite – F.I.G.H.T for your health! http://lymebook.com/fight Linda Heming describes her Lyme disease healing journey Wed, 06 Nov 2013 05:54:37 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.25 Babesia strains in the blood supply http://lymebook.com/fight/babesia-strains-in-the-blood-supply/ http://lymebook.com/fight/babesia-strains-in-the-blood-supply/#respond Sat, 29 Oct 2011 05:02:39 +0000 http://lymebook.com/fight/?p=2767 Linda’s comment:  Human babesiosis in the United States is primarily attributable to infection with the intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite, Babesia microti.

CONCLUSIONS: Recipients of components from B. microti-positive donors
were infected via transfusion, with index donations from parasitemic
donors posing the greatest transmission risk. This report of B. microti
transmission detected through LB, coupled with ongoing TTB cases,
indicates that interventions are needed to reduce transmission of B.
microti to US blood recipients.
