Concurrent Borrelia burgdorferi and Babesia microti infection in nymphal Ixodes dammini

J Piesman et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1986 Sep.

Abstract

Ixodes dammini nymphs were examined for evidence of concurrent infection with Borrelia burgdorferi and Babesia microti. A total of 19 nymphs (18.6%) from Nantucket Island were simultaneously infected, as were 24 nymphs (8.2%) from Naushon Island. These observations are consistent with a common reservoir host for both I. dammini-transmitted pathogens.
