Mapping the Global Distribution of <i>Babesia</i> Infections. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Understanding the ecological niches and quantifying the disease burden of Babesia species is essential for efficient surveillance and control strategies. Through a systematic review of global distributions, we document all 250 identified Babesia species across 73 vector species, 224 animals, and humans.
