Human Babesiosis Caused by <i>Babesia venatorum</i>, Russia, 2024
We report a case of acute babesiosis in a splenectomized 63-year-old man in Siberia, Russia. We confirmed the causative agent, Babesia venatorum, by PCR. Our study demonstrated a change in the structure of the parasite population, from single parasite invasion of erythrocytes to multioccupancy, without an increase in parasitemia level.
