		Babesiosis is an infection of the red blood cells with the parasite Babesia.
		Babesiosis is most commonly spread to humans by the bite of a tick infected with the Babesia parasite.
		Babesiosis is spread by deer ticks, which are carried mainly by deer, meadow voles, and mice.

	Update on Canine Babesiosis and Ehrlichiosis
		Babesiosis and ehrlichiosis are the most important tick-transmitted diseases of dogs in the tropics, and are a relatively common cause of morbidity and mortality in dogs in South East Asia.
		Babesiosis is caused by either of the protozoal parasite Babesia gibsoni or Babesia canis vogeli, and ehrlichiosis is caused by infection with a rickettsial organism, Ehrlichia canis.
		Acute haemolysis (as in the case of babesiosis) is typically associated with red plasma (haemoglobinaemia), dark urine (haemoglobinuria), a strong regenerative response by the bone marrow and a normal serum protein.

		Babesiosis is an intraerythrocytic parasitic infection caused by protozoa of the genus Babesia and transmitted through the bite of the Ixodes tick, the same vector responsible for transmission of Lyme disease.

		In addition, dogs that have recovered from babesiosis should never be used as donors for blood transfusions because the recipients may develop the disease.
