在肯尼亚的一只豹（Panthera pardus）身上发现了一种大型的巴贝虫物种。它在家猫中建立，但没有发现其他动物易感。将该虫与其他猫科动物的寄生虫进行了比较，发现它在一些重要特征上与它们不同。它被确定为一个新的物种，并命名为豹巴贝龙。我们要感谢B小姐。O.维德勒感谢她的帮助，S博士。F.巴内特教授进行了许多有益的讨论。D.当我们在肯尼亚穆古加的东非兽医研究组织工作时，这种寄生虫被分离出来，我们非常感谢该组织提供的设施。
A large Babesia species was found in a leopard (Panthera pardus) in Kenya. It was established in domestic cats but no other animal was found to be susceptible. The parasite has been compared with other piroplasms of felids and it was found to differ from them in some significant characters. It was established as a new species and named Babesia pantherae.We would like to thank Miss B. O. Vidler for her assistance, Dr S. F. Barnett for many helpful discussions and Professor N. D. Levine for pointing out the need for this description.The parasite was isolated when we were working at the East African Veterinary Research Organization at Muguga in Kenya and we are most grateful to that organization for facilities.
