在纽约谢尔特岛，对暴露于蜱虫的高风险健康个体进行了调查，以确定单一传播季节内无症状巴贝虫病的患病率和发病率。用间接免疫荧光法检测1978年6月和10月获得的成对血清中的田鼠巴氏杆菌抗体。点患病率值为4.4%，6月和6.9%，10月。在两个月内检测的102人中，6人显示B抗体滴度至少升高4倍。麦地那龙线虫病（该季节发病率为5.9%）。从纽约市大都市区获得的300份血清标本中，没有一份对B具有显著滴度。显微镜在6名血清转化的患者中，4名患者在传播季节有蜱叮咬史; 4名患者中有3名患者声称识别出蜱虫为达米尼硬蜱（B的载体）。显微镜
Healthy individuals at high risk of exposure to ticks were surveyed to determine the prevalence and incidence of asymptomatic babesiosis on Shelter Island, New York, during a single transmission season. Paired sera obtained in June and Oct. 1978 were tested for antibodies to Babesia microti by indirect immunofluorescence. Point prevalence values of 4.4% in June and 6.9% in Oct. were obtained. Of 102 persons tested in both months, 6 showed at least a 4-fold rise in titer of antibodies to B. microti (an incidence of 5.9% for the season). None of 300 serum specimens obtained from the New York City metropolitan area had significant titers to B. microti. Of the 6 persons who seroconverted, 4 gave a history of tick bite during the transmission season; 3 of the 4 persons claimed to recognize the tick as an Ixodes dammini, the vector for B. microti.
