Abstract

Babesia is a kind of pear-shaped protozoa that is parasitic in mammalian red blood cells. It is mainly transmitted by sputum and blood transfusion. Babesia is a zoonotic parasitic disease with clinical manifestations similar to malaria. It has been found all over China. In many cases of Babesia infection, Babesia has caused great threat to humans and other mammals. However, there are few studies on Babesia in China. This paper will make a brief review on the morphology, life history and pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of Babesia in China.
