In cattle, it causes babesiosis, also called "Texas fever". Its length is 4–5 μm and its width is 2–3 μm. Usually, it has an oval shape. In blood cells, it is located midsagittally and can reach up to two-thirds of the diameter of the blood cell in size.

Babesiosis has emerged in the Lower Hudson Valley, New York, since 2001. [32] In Australia, one locally-acquired case of B. microti has been reported, which was fatal. [33] A subsequent investigation found no additional evidence of human Babesiosis in over 7000 patient samples, leading the authors to conclude that Babesiosis was rare in ...
Babesia bovis is an Apicomplexan single-celled parasite of cattle which occasionally infects humans. The disease it and other members of the genus Babesia cause is a hemolytic anemia known as babesiosis and colloquially called Texas cattle fever, redwater or piroplasmosis.
Until 2006, B. microti was thought to belong to the genus Babesia, as Babesia microti, until ribosomal RNA comparisons placed it in the sister genus Theileria. [7] [8] As of 2012, the medical community still classified the parasite as B. microti [9] though its genome showed it does not belong to either Babesia or Theileria.
Babesia divergens is an intraerythrocytic parasite, transmitted by the tick Ixodes ricinus. [1] It is the most common cause of human babesiosis. [2] It is the main agent of bovine babesiosis, or "redwater fever", in Europe.
The journal was established in 1956 as Entomophaga and published by Lavoisier, before moving to Springer and obtaining its current name in 1998. [1] BioControl is published bimonthly. [2] From 1998 to 2006, Heikki Hokkannen was the editor-in-chief. The current editor-in-chief is Eric Wajnberg (INRA, France). [3]
Babesia canis is a parasite that infects red blood cells and can lead to anemia. [1] This is a species that falls under the overarching genus Babesia.It is transmitted by the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) and is one of the most common piroplasm infections. [2]
