Ticks transmit the human strain of babesiosis, so it often presents with other tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease. [5] After trypanosomes, Babesia is thought to be the second-most common blood parasite of mammals. They can have major adverse effects on the health of domestic animals in areas without severe winters.
Babesia, [3] [4] also called Nuttallia, [5] is an apicomplexan parasite that infects red blood cells and is transmitted by ticks.Originally discovered by Romanian bacteriologist Victor Babeș in 1888; over 100 species of Babesia have since been identified.

Rates of babesiosis, a potentially fatal tick-borne disease sometimes referred to as "American malaria," increased an average of 9% a year in the US between 2015 and 2022, a new study finds.
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.
In a population of Rhipicephalus or Hyalomma ticks feeding on cattle in which Theileria species of protozoa circulate and cause theileriosis, the ticks act as long-term reservoirs of the protozoans. In addition, some species of protozoans (within the Theileria and Babesia genera), are able to infect ticks even when they exist in the blood of ...
A number of alternative health products are promoted for chronic Lyme disease, [8] of which possibly the most controversial and harmful is long-term antibiotic therapy, particularly intravenous antibiotics. [9] [10] Recognised authorities advise against long-term antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease, even where some symptoms persist post ...
