4. Babesiosis is a rare, sometimes severe, disease caused by the bite of a tick infected with Babesia microti, a microscopic protozoal parasite that infects red blood cells. Babesia species are found worldwide, although in North America, most cases of babesiosis occur in the southern United States. Babesiosis is considered a serious threat to racing greyhounds and pit bull terriers. Dogs typically present with the acute, severe form of babesiosis. Cats can be infected through tick bites or bite wounds from infected cats. Symptoms include abnormally dark urine, fever, weakness, pale mucous membranes, depression, swollen lymph nodes, and an enlarged spleen.
