Life cycle of B. microti, including human infectionTypically B. microti is transmitted by the nymphal stage of Ixodes scapularis ticks (about the size of a poppy seed).
Babesia microti is a parasitic blood-borne piroplasm transmitted by deer ticks. B. microti is responsible for the disease babesiosis, a malaria-like disease which also causes fever and hemolysis.
