Bartonella and Babesia Co-Infection Detected in Patients with Chronic Illnesshttps://news.ncsu.edu/2024/07/bartonella-and-babesia-co-infection-detected-in-patients-with-chronic-illness/Quick side note: it's a bit odd how there's no mention of Lindner, who pretty much has kept saying this for a while now about
odocoilei. I guess maybe it's because it's the first actual DNA evidence?
Oh well, here are a couple important bits:
The co-infections were detected in six of seven patients suffering from chronic,
non-specific illness, who were enrolled in a Bartonella study at North Carolina State University.

“We were surprised by these findings for several reasons,” Breitschwerdt says. “First, this strain of Babesia –
B. odocoilei – isn’t currently considered a cause of human infection. Second, these patients reside in
locations around the U.S. and in Mexico, so the distribution may be
geographically widespread. Finally, we were able to identify these seven infected individuals within a one-year time period, suggesting that this may be a
more prevalent infection than currently appreciated.”
