Babesia sp. 'North Carolina dog'. Babesia, [3] [4] also called Nuttallia, [5] is an apicomplexan parasite that infects red blood cells and is transmitted by ticks. Originally discovered by the Romanian bacteriologist Victor Babeș in 1888, over 100 species of Babesia have since been identified.

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 · Babesia is an apicomplexan tick-transmitted haemoparasite that has developed unique strategies in order to complete its life cycle and transmission. Essential reproductive goals are: (i) to perpetuate its parasitic existence by propagation, and (ii) to guarantee host-to-host transmission through specialized infective stages.
Babesia organisms are typically classified as large (2 to 4 µm) or small (<2 µm) with routine light microscopy ( Fig. 13-24 ). Over 100 Babesia species have been identified, some of which are listed here, along with their relative microscopic size in parentheses: •. Horses— Babesia caballi (large) •.
