Babesia
are malaria-like parasites transmitted by blood feeding ticks.
Infection with Babesia microti causes humans to become anemic,
experience spiking fever and chills, and
exhaustion. In some cases, the infection can be fatal. This 3 minute
video demonstrates the life cycle of Babesia microti, starting in the
blood of white-footed mice. Follow the parasite as it is ingested by
deer ticks, and finally is transmitted to humans through tick saliva.
