Abstract
Babesioses are emerging and ubiquitary diseases caused by a tick born protozoa. They affect primarily the cattles but also wild mammalians, particularly bovines. Human cases have been recently described; their frequency increase since new diagnostic tests are available, with higher sensibility, and new species have been characterized. The American type due to Babesia microti is often asymptomatic, whereas the European form, due to Babesia divergens, is more severe, above all in patients with splenectomy. Early emergency parasitologic diagnosis is necessary, so early treatment can be prescribed, associating clindamycin and quinin or atovaquone and azithromycin.
