Abstract
⺠A sandwich ELISA targeting secreted antigen 1 of Babesia microti (BmSA1) was developed. ⺠The sandwich ELISA detected circulating BmSA1 earlier than antibody detection by indirect ELISA. ⺠The kinetics of circulating BmSA1 coincided with the profile of parasitemia. ⺠This assay was more sensitive than the microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood smears. ⺠BmSA1 could be a potential marker for surveillance of human babesiosis.
