Three Cases of Human Babesiosis, Italy, 2017–2020

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We report 3 cases of babesiosis in Italy caused by Babesia species that are rarely reported in humans. The circulation of Babesia spp. among vectors, animals, and humans might be more common than previously thought, and babesiosis might be an underdiagnosed and emerging disease in Italy and Europe.
