Clinical Information
Acanthamoeba Keratitis - Infection of the cornea by an ameboid protozoan which may cause corneal ulceration leading to blindness.
Babesiosis - A group of tick-borne diseases of mammals including ZOONOSES in humans. They are caused by protozoa of the genus BABESIA, which parasitize erythrocytes, producing hemolysis. In the U.S., the organism's natural host is mice and transmission is by the deer tick IXODES SCAPULARIS.
