Transfusion-TransmittedBabesiaspp.: Bull's-Eye onBabesia microti [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2011 SUMMARYBabesiaspp. are intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites of animals and humans that cause babesiosis, a zoonotic disease transmitted primarily by tick vectors. Although a variety of species or types ofBabesiahave been described in the literature as causing infection in humans, the rodent parasiteBabesia microtihas emerged as the focal point of ...
