Red blood cells from Syrian hamsters, infected with Babesia parasites, are fixed on a glass slide. Patient serum is added, and the patient's B. microti-specific IgG or IgM antibodies bind to the parasites in the infected red blood cells.In the third step, a labeled anti-human antibody is added.Fluorescence occurs if Babesia-specific antibodies are present. The slides must be read with a fluorescent microscope.atient serum is added, and the patient's B. microti-specific IgG or IgM antibodies bind to the parasites in the infected red blood cells.
