Comment: Interesting, initially while Babesiosis was known to primarily infect cattle, over the years more and more human cases are being discovered. It has been proposed that this is due to the dynamic ecology of the parasite. Nonetheless, while parasite infections infections continue to increase, so does awareness and intervention of the disease. While currently clindamyocin and quinone is being used for treatment, research has shown that other drugs also show potential and novel detections methods are well underway.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheesecakefantasy (talk • contribs) 14:36, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: '''Articles on Tick Borne Disease Babesiosis'''

message: This article is very well written being a student and having to do a report in infectious diseases this was a very great help I would like to inquire though who created the treatment for the disease and when.
______
I'm neither a doctor nor entymologist, simply a Cape Cod patient released from the hospital 2 days ago and recovering from Babesiosis. I'm a 60 y.o. healthy male, and this was the worse illness I've ever had: severe recurring fevers for 10 days; anemia (hematocrit 28, platelets 40); fluid around my lungs and atelectesis (sp?); liver functions over 400. Although my case was never considered life-threatening, it made me wish I was dead!
Anyway, having no particular expertise, I'm not going to edit the article, but I'm skeptical of the following statement:
"Note that unlike the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria, Babesia species lack an exo-erythrotic phase, so the liver is usually not affected." My doctors monitored my liver carefully fearing that it would be overwhelmed - I believe it works hard to separate the dead red blood cells from the blood.
Also, why is this article under 'dogs'?! I'd think it would be under disease, or protozoa.

thread_title: '''Bold text'''

message: I have a sneaking suspicion that this article has been "defaced." Having done parasitology i have never heard of babesiosis being caused by Babes on peaches. (see first line of the article). I propose to alter this first line and replace it with something more sensible, or to return to a previous edition of the first line. Ithillion 04:11, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: I

message: There is anice new review about Babesiosis at Spetember International J of Parasitology by Hunfeld, K-P et al. I put some stuff in from that review, i wush these authors would come and write this article bc theirs has the right structure! I say this article should be more about the Veterinary pathology side of if since Babesiosis is a major problem in cattle esp. in tropic but it is very rare in people in NA and Eur. and mostly just a problem in people who had their spleen out. YEah there's exceptions but lets not make the article about exceptions. RetroS1mone talk 18:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
