Babesia is a protozoan parasite found to infect vertebrate animals, mostly livestock mammals and birds, but also occasionally humans. Common names of the disease that Babesia microti causes are Texas cattle fever, redwater fever, tick fever, and Nantucket fever. [7] The disease it causes in humans, babesiosis, is also called piroplasmosis.

Dec 23, 2016 · Family: Babesiidae. Genus: Babesia. Babesia species are characterized by intraerythrocytic forms; have apical complex organelles, a merogonic stage within the vertebrate host erythrocytes, and a sexual development; and show the formation of sporozoites within the invertebrate host (Homer et al. 2000). Closely related to Babesia are Theileria.

May 1, 2019 · Evolutionary diversification of vertebrate hosts is the major driving force of Piroplasmida phylogeny. Remarkable diversity of the genus Babesia represents one of the greatest challenges for the development of generic antibabesial therapeutics. Specific events of the Babesia life cycle represent mandatory adaptations of Babesia to the tick vector.

Babesiosis or piroplasmosis is a malaria -like parasitic disease caused by infection with a eukaryotic parasite in the order Piroplasmida, typically a Babesia or Theileria, in the phylum Apicomplexa. [2] Human babesiosis transmission via tick bite is most common in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States and parts of Europe, and sporadic ...
