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.
