Effect of coinfection on larval acquisition of <i>Babesia microti</i>.

<p>The results show the prevalence of <i>B. microti</i> in xenodiagnostic ticks that fed on mice infected with <i>B. microti</i> alone compared to mice coinfected with <i>B. microti</i> and <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> strain BL206 (A) or <i>B. burgdorferi</i> strain B348 (B). <i>B. microti</i> parasitemia in mice infected with <i>B. microti</i> alone or <i>B. microti</i> and <i>B. burgdorferi</i> strain B348 are shown in inset above B. The error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals.
