Among these pathogens, 2 zoonotic Babesia species have been described in Europe: the well-known cattle parasite

We thank Al Chan for providing pretreatment blood smears; Karen Eady for facilitating collection of data about and blood specimens from the patient; Gale Wagner and Patricia Holman for providing the Purnell strain of

In Europe, most reported human cases of babesiosis have been attributed, without strong molecular evidence, to infection with the bovine parasite
Babesia divergens. We investigated the first known human cases of babesiosis in Italy and Austria, which occurred in two asplenic men.
