Whole genome mapping and re-organization of the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of Babesia microti isolates.

Babesia microti is the primary causative agent of human babesiosis, an emerging pathogen that causes a malaria-like illness with possible fatal outcome in immunocompromised patients. The genome sequence of the B. microti R1 strain was reported in 2012 and revealed a distinct evolutionary path for th...
