<scp><i>Babesia microti</i></scp> seroprevalence in <scp>M</scp>innesota blood donors

Abstract

This study provides new data about B. microti seroprevalence in MN blood donors. Possibly because the targeted collection areas were mostly expected to be endemic for the parasite, the observed seroprevalence levels were higher than expected, although the geographic distribution of positive donors did not completely overlap with the distribution of reported clinical cases in MN.
