Babesioosia on tavattu Pohjois-Amerikan lisäksi Euroopasta (Ranska, Englanti). Nyt se on löytynyt myös Intiasta. Babesioosi saattaa olla kuitenkin paljon luultua yleisempi sillä babesia- ja malariaparasiittejä on vaikea erottaa toisistaan. Vain erittäin huolellisella tutkimuksella ne voidaan erottaa toisistaan.

Babesiosis is an emerging, tick-transmitted, zoonotic disease caused by hematotropic parasites of the genus Babesia. Most cases of Babesial infections in humans have been acquired in temperate regions of the United States, Europe, France and England. A few cases of Babesiosis have been described in other parts of the world, including China, Taiwan, Egypt, South Africa, and Mexico.1,2 We report the first case of human Babesiosis, in a normosplenic, previously healthy individual from India.

"Malaria is endemic in many parts of India and the intraerythrocytic parasites are frequently reported as plasmodia. Careful examination of peripheral blood smears can only differentiate the / Babesia/ from malarial parasites. Thorough peripheral smear examination and serological surveys may be necessary to know the actual prevalence of human babesiosis in India."
