We used administrative databases to assess babesiosis among elderly persons in the United States by year, sex, age, race, state of residence, and diagnosis months during 2006-2008. The highest babesiosis rates were in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and Massachusetts, and findings suggested babesiosis expansion to other states.

Department of Veterinary Bio-Medical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences, Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya, Nakhon Si Thammmarat, Thailand.
Article Synopsis
- Hemoparasitic infections in cattle pose serious health risks, resulting in economic losses and welfare concerns for farmers, particularly among fighting bulls in southern Thailand.
- A study analyzed blood samples from over 5,500 bulls, finding a 5.85% infection rate with the parasite TP being the most common among younger bulls aged 1-5 years.
- The research highlights significant annual and seasonal variations in infection rates, particularly in 2018 and during summer months, suggesting that factors like packed cell volume (PCV) influence susceptibility to these infections.

Centre for Food-borne, Environmental and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Public Health Agency of Canada, Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- - A retrospective analysis in Canada from 2009 to 2021 studied hospitalization rates for tick-borne diseases (TBDs), focusing on demographics, trends, and geographic distribution using health data from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD).
- - Out of 1,626 hospitalizations for TBDs, the majority were Lyme disease (1,457 cases), with significant annual increases noted, particularly rising from 50 cases in 2009 to 259 in 2021.
- - Other TBDs diagnosed included rickettsiosis, tularemia, and babesiosis, with rickettsiosis showing the only increase in cases; overall, this study highlights the growing burden of TBDs and identifies populations at risk.

Human babesiosis is caused when erythrocytes are invaded by . Infection can occur from the bite of an infected tick, blood transfusion or congenitally. Issues related to the infecting species, symptomology and testing technology are discussed and the implications of accurate incidence and prevalence of the disease discussed.
