Abstract
We report a case of acute babesiosis in a splenectomized 63-year-old man in Siberia, Russia. We confirmed the causative agent, Babesia venatorum, by PCR. Our study demonstrated a change in the structure of the parasite population, from single parasite invasion of erythrocytes to multioccupancy, without an increase in parasitemia level.
期刊介绍:
Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination.
Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
