从1969年到1980年，美国共发现了99例人类微小巴贝虫感染病例（马萨诸塞州55例，纽约州43例，罗德岛州1例）。发病率从1975年开始迅速上升，到1980年有17例，其中15例为临床病例。57例临床感染中，输血所致感染3例（脾切除术患者2例）。只有一人死亡。这种寄生虫起源于白足鼠，由大伊蚊（Ixodes dammini）传播。对鉴别诊断（从疟疾）、治疗和预防作了简要描述。其他巴贝斯虫种的人类感染按年份和国家分列。
From 1969 to 1980 a total of 99 cases of human Babesia microti infection were recognized in the USA (55 in Massachusetts, 43 in New York and one in Rhode Island). The incidence rose rapidly from 1975 and in 1980 there were 17 cases, 15 of them clinical. The 57 clinical infections included 3 induced by blood transfusion (in 2 cases in splenectomized patients). There was only one fatality. The parasite originates from white-footed mice and is tramsitted by Ixodes dammini. Differential diagnosis (from malaria), treatment and prevention are described briefly. Human infections by other Babesia spp. are tabulated by year and country.
