Abstract
A short account is given of babesiosis (equine biliary fever) caused by the tick-borne protozoan Babesia equi and B. caballi, endemic in the Cape Province of South Africa. The clinical picture, diagnosis and treatment are described. In the absence of any prophylactic measures, prognosis is poor; control of the parasites in the tick-infested areas is essential.Entities:
