Babesiosis (Texas fever, redwater, tick fever, etc.) was first described in 1893 by Smith and Kilborne as a tick-transmitted disease of cattle, characterized by anemia, fever, and hemoglobinuria [1]. Since then, however, it has been found that most domestic and many wild mammals are susceptible to a wide variety of Babesia species [2]. These babesias tend to be host-specific, but this is not always the case. Generally, however, the disease in a given mammalian host, referred to as babesiosis, is caused by a specific Babesia species. A list of different babesias and their major vertebrate hosts, as discussed in this review, is given in table 1. With the ever broadening scope of babesiosis in man and animal, increasing attention is being given to the development of appropriate treatment to moderate clinical signs in acutely infected individuals, to eliminate, and to prevent infection.
