巴贝虫病是由红细胞内的原生动物寄生虫引起的，这些寄生虫通过蜱传播，或者较少通过输血或经胎盘传播。人类巴贝斯虫病首先在欧洲的一名脾切除患者中被发现，但大多数病例报告来自美国东北部和上中西部，患者脾脏完整，无免疫损伤史。亚洲、非洲、澳大利亚、欧洲和南美洲均有病例报告。巴贝斯虫病与疟疾有许多共同的临床特征，并且可能是致命的，特别是在老年人和免疫功能低下的人中。
Babesiosis is caused by intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites that are transmitted by ticks, or less commonly through blood transfusion or transplacentally. Human babesiosis was first recognized in a splenectomized patient in Europe but most cases have been reported from the northeastern and upper midwestern United States in people with an intact spleen and no history of immune impairment. Cases are reported in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, and South America. Babesiosis shares many clinical features with malaria and can be fatal, particularly in the elderly and the immunocompromised.
