Description

B. microti is known as the main etiological agent of human babesiosis and there are some case studies for that disease, highlighting the fact that this is an important “emerging tick-borne disease”. However a lot of information about this protist is unclear.

The reactions in the liver are noticeable already after the fi rst three weeks of infection. This therefore provides the basis for discussion of the effect of B. microti contact with hepatocytes in vitro and in vivo. This issue is an essential objective of our study.
