History
The disease is named for the genus of the
causative organism, which was named after the
Romanian bacteriologist Victor Babe. In 1888,
Victor Babe identified the microorganisms in red
blood cells as the cause of febrile hemoglobinuria
in cattle. In 1893, Theobald Smith and Frederick
Kilborne discovered that a tick was the vector for
transmission in Texas cattle. The agent was B.
bigemina. This was the first demonstration that
an arthropod could act as a disease vector to
transmit an infectious agent to a vertebrate host.
Equine babesiosis is also known as piroplasmosis
(from the Latin piro, meaning pear + Greek
plasma, a thing formed).
