Patent Pending Babesiosis is a malaria-like parasitic disease caused by infection with Babesia, a genus of protozoal piroplasms.[1] Human babesiosis is common in the Northeastern and Midwestern United States, and sporadic throughout the rest of the world. Ticks transmit the human form of babesiosis, so it often presents with other tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease.
