Abstract:
Babesia has been known by other genus names, including Piroplasma, Nuttallia, Microbabesia, Babesiella, and Gonderia. Babesiosis has been called tick fever, Texas tick fever, Texas cattle fever, red water, bloody murrain, splenic fever, and biliary fever. Because all Babesia species are piroplasms, a more inclusive term for human infections caused by these organisms would be piroplasmosis. Development and refinement of methods for identifying and classifying organisms has resulted in some Babesia and Babesia-like organisms being reclassified to other genera, such as Theileria.
