The term "Babesiosis" refers to the subclinical and chronic infections that usually persist after the parasite has been attacked. Clinically, the chronic type is characterised by anaemia and varying weight loss. From an economic standpoint, Babesiosis has greatest impact on cattle.
rapidly leading to death. Acute disease can cause nervous symptoms such as ‘pedalling’ movements and aggressive behaviour. In dairy cows, abortion and agalactia are early signs of infection. Babesiosis can be diagnosed by identification of the parasites in blood or tissues, PCR, serology, or transmission experiments.
