Yes, Babesiosis can affect humans. It is one of several diseases that can be transmitted to people from a tick bite. It is a malaria-like infection that infects the red blood cells and it is caused by a protozoa. It is treated with an anti-malarial (often Mepron) combined with an antibiotic (often Zithromax, Biaxin, or Ketek). People who have or may have Babesiosis should also be tested for other tick-borne diseases including Lyme disease, Ehrlichiosis (HME & HGE), Bartonella, Mycoplasma, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. These diseases can be very serious and chronic if not properly treated early in the infection.

What is the Differences between babesiosis and lyme disease?
Babesiosis is caused by a parasite transmitted through tick bites, while Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. Symptoms of babesiosis can include fever, fatigue, and anemia, while symptoms of Lyme disease can include a characteristic bull's-eye rash, joint pain, and flu-like symptoms. Treatment for babesiosis typically involves antiparasitic medications, while Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics.
What are diseases caused by Metazoa?
Metazoa, which are multicellular animals, can transmit diseases to humans through various means. For example, ticks, which are arachnids, can transmit Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and babesiosis. Some types of worms, such as roundworms and tapeworms, can also cause infections in humans.
How can humans effect the rock cycle?
by being part of mechanical weathering
Is the greenhouse effect caused solely by humans?
No, there is a natural greenhouse effect which has kept the earth warm for millions of years. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, humans are causing the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
How do tsunamis effect humans?
destroys homes towns nd causes many deaths
What are the dangers to humans who have babesiosis?
Babesiosis is a disease mainly caused by ticks. This disease is similar to malaria and can cause severe anemia.
Is Babesiosis rare?
Babesiosis is a rare, tick-transmitted disease
When is the risk for babesiosis highest?
The risk for babesiosis is highest during June and July
How is babesiosis treated?
In serious cases, babesiosis is treated with a combination of clindamycin (Cleocin) and quinine
How often does Babesiosis occur?
By 1995, fewer than 500 cases of babesiosis had been reported in the United States
What spreads Babesiosis?
Tick bite
How does Babesiosis get diagnosed?
Babesiosis can be diagnosed by examining a blood sample microscopically and detecting the presence of Babesia microti within the blood cells
What is the scientific name of the invertebrate that causes babesiosis?
Babesiosis is a malaria-like parasitic disease caused by 'Babesia', a genus of protozoal piroplasms.
What germ causes Babesiosis?
Babesia microti
What is the Differences between babesiosis and lyme disease?

Symptoms of babesiosis can include fever, fatigue, and anemia, while symptoms of Lyme disease can include a characteristic bull's-eye rash, joint pain, and flu-like symptoms. Treatment for babesiosis typically involves antiparasitic medications, while Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics.
Do stars have a effect on humans?
They do not have effect on humans whatso ever.
Does babesiosis infect humans?
Yes, babesiosis can infect humans. It is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia, which are typically transmitted through the bites of infected ticks, particularly the black-legged tick (Ixodes scapularis). The infection can lead to symptoms such as fever, chills, and fatigue, and can be severe, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems or those without a spleen. While it is primarily found in certain regions, cases have been reported in various parts of the United States and other countries.
