CDC : ³ Babesiosis is caused by microscopic parasites that infect red blood cells and are spread by certain ticks. In the United States, tickborne transmission is most common in particular regions and seasons: it mainly occurs in parts of the Northeast and upper Midwest and usually peaks during the warm months.Although many people who are infected with Babesia do not have symptoms, for those who do effective treatment is available. Babesiosis is preventable, if simple steps are taken to reduce exposure to ticks. Babesia microti is transmitted by the bite of infected Ixodes scapularis ticks-typically, by the nymph stage of the tick, which is about the size of a poppy seed. An Ixodes scapularis nymph is shown on the face of a penny. (Credit: G. Hickling, University of Tennessee)

MalaCards based summary : Babesiosis, also known as human babesiosis, is related to acute kidney failure and trypanosomiasis, and has symptoms including mild fevers and anemia described as malaria-like symptoms. An important gene associated with Babesiosis is HSPA4 (Heat Shock Protein Family A (Hsp70) Member 4), and among its related pathways/superpathways are HIV Life Cycle and Binding and Uptake of Ligands by Scavenger Receptors. The drugs Immunoglobulins and Antibodies have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include bone, heart and kidney, and related phenotypes are fever and hemolytic anemia

Disease Ontology : ¹² A parasitic protozoa infectious disease that has symptom mild fevers and has symptom anemia described as malaria-like symptoms caused by a protozoan of genus Babesia, which reproduce in red blood cells and cause hemolytic anemia. They are transmitted by Ixodid ticks or by blood transfusion. Babesiosis is a zoonotic disease.

GARD : ²⁰ Babesiosis refers to a condition caused by microscopic parasites that infect the red blood cells. Many people who are infected with Babesia parasites do not experience any symptoms of the condition. When present, signs and symptoms may include flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, body aches, nausea and fatigue. In severe cases, babesiosis can be associated with hemolytic anemia. Babesia parasites are primarily spread by infected ticks. Treatment is generally only required in people who develop symptoms of the condition. When necessary, affected people are often prescribed a combination of antimicrobial medications along with supportive care to manage symptoms.
