Experimental Infection of Ticks: An Essential Tool for the Analysis of <i>Babesia</i> Species Biology and Transmission

Babesiosis is one of the most important tick-borne diseases in veterinary health, impacting mainly cattle, equidae, and canidae, and limiting the development of livestock industries worldwide. In humans, babesiosis is considered to be an emerging disease mostly due to <i>Babesia divergens</...
