Typically found in domesticated animals, there are more than 100 species of babesia, and a few have been found to afflict humans, in whom it can produce malaria-like symptoms such as fevers, chills, and headaches. [giantmicrobes.com]
Symptoms (incubation time: 5 days–9 weeks): Rapid onset of beginning illness with severe fever, chills, headache (can be severe/dull, global, involves the whole head, described as if the head is in a vise), sweats (usually at night, but can be day-sweats [arminlabs.com]
Manifestations of disease include fever, chills, sweating, myalgias, fatigue, hepatosplenomegaly, and hemolytic anemia. Symptoms typically occur after an incubation period of 1 to 4 weeks, and can last several weeks. [cdc.gov]
Symptoms Of Babesiosis Symptoms of babesiosis are similar to those of Lyme disease but babesiosis more often starts with a high fever and chills. [lymedisease.org]

B. microti apicoplast functions are significantly different from those of the host, suggesting that they might be useful as targets for development of potent and safe therapies for the treatment of human babesiosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Phylogenetic analyses of the 18S ribosomal RNA gene (18S rDNA) and, more recently, the β-tubulin gene have suggested inter-group heterogeneity. Intra-group relationships, however, remain unknown. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

About Babesia microti strain RI Theileria microti is a parasitic blood-borne piroplasm transmitted by deer ticks. [protists.ensembl.org]
This method is therefore a rapid, sensitive, and accurate method for detection of Babesia microti in patient specimens. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment
Improvements in symptoms and VCS deficits were observed only after at least 9 weeks of treatment. At week 12, 5 patients were asymptomatic, and 16 had a notable reduction in the number of symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
He explains how these natural methods not only complement conventional Lyme disease treatments involving antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals but also provide relief when other forms of treatment have failed. [books.google.es]
Prognosis
The fox was euthanized due to poor prognosis for recovery. [bioone.org]
Prognosis Otherwise healthy patients will recover completely. Babesiosis may last several months without treatment and is a severe, potentially fatal disease in splenectomized patients. [encyclopedia.com]
Etiology
The primary etiological agent of babesiosis in the United States is B. microti. In healthy individuals, tick-transmitted infection with Babesia causes no specific clinical manifestations, with many having no symptoms at all. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Limitations This test is intended to detect Babesia microti, the primary etiologic agent of human babesiosis in the United States. [labcorp.com]
