This study was designed to determine the rates of\n                    <jats:italic>Babesia microti<\/jats:italic>\n                    infection among small rodents in Yunnan province, where human cases of babesiosis have been reported. Currently, distribution of\n                    <jats:italic>Babesia<\/jats:italic>\n                    in its endemic regions is largely unknown. In this study, we cataloged 1672 small wild rodents, comprising 4 orders, from nine areas in western Yunnan province between 2009 and 2011.\n                    <jats:italic>Babesia microti<\/jats:italic>\n                    DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction in 4\u00b73% (72\/1672) of the rodents analyzed. The most frequently infected rodent species included\n                    <jats:italic>Apodemus chevrieri<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Niviventer fulvescens<\/jats:italic>\n                    .

Genetic comparisons revealed that\n                    <jats:italic>Babesia<\/jats:italic>\n                    was most similar to the Kobe- and Otsu-type strains identified in Japan.
