Can babesiosis effect humans?

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.
