Overview

Molecular analyses detected Babesia in ticks from wild mammals, suggesting ecological significance.

Key Points

  • Babesia was detected in 6.25% of ticks analyzed, revealing infection in wildlife.
  • Molecular techniques identified Babesia microti and Babesia caballi in different tick species.
  • Collection included 112 ticks from 80 mammal hosts across 16 provinces in Türkiye.
  • Findings highlight concerns for public health regarding tick-borne diseases in wild fauna.
