Babesia is spread by ticks (e.g. Ixodes ricinus in the UK) This disease has a high level of mortality and animals often decline quickly after the onset of symptoms. It may be treated with imidocarb but special licenses are needed from the Veterinary Medicines Directorate to use this drug. Animals may often need a blood transfusion also.
