Ultrastructure of the Babesia divergens free merozoite

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016
The invasive form of the apicomplexan parasite Babesia divergens, the free merozoite, invades the erythrocytes of host vertebrates, leading to significant pathology. Although invasion is an active process critical for parasite survival, it is not yet entirely understood.
