In the Northeast and upper Midwest of the United States,Babesia microtiandBorrelia burgdorferiuseIxodes scapularisticks as vector andPeromyscus leucopusmice as major reservoir host. We previously established, in a 5-year field trial, that a reservoir-targeted outer surface protein A vaccine reduces the prevalence ofB. burgdorferi-infected ticks. We accessed ticks and mouse blood samples collected during the trial, extracted total DNA, and amplified theB. microti 18S rRNAgene. Vaccine deployment reduced the prevalence of ticks coinfected withB. microtiand that of mice infected withB. microti. Breaking the enzootic cycle ofB. burgdorferimay reduce the incidence of babesiosis.
