Antigen Discovery, Bioinformatics and Biological Characterization of Novel Immunodominant Babesia microti Antigens
Abstract Babesia microti is an intraerythrocytic parasite and the primary causative agent of human babesiosis. It is transmitted by Ixodes ticks, transfusion of blood and blood products, organ donation, and perinatally. Despite its global public health impact, limited progress has been made to ident...
