Natural Transmission of Zoonotic Babesia spp. by Ixodes ricinus Ticks

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To determine characteristics of natural transmission of Babesia sp. EU1 and B. divergens by adult Ixodes ricinus ticks, we examined tick salivary gland contents. We found that I.
