    The life cycle of Babesia spp. involves transmission between a vertebrate host and a tick vector. Within the tick, the kinete develops into infective sporozoites in the salivary glands. When the tick feeds on a vertebrate host, the sporozoites penetrate the host's red blood cells and multiply, rupturing and infecting other red blood cells over 7-14 days. The parasite can then be transmitted between ticks through both transstadial and transovarial transmission.
