Historia de la Babesiosis Bovina

Historia por Dr. Juan Joel Mosqueda Gualito

La babesiosis bovina fue reportada por primera vez en 1868 en Estados Unidos, con un brote que causó la muerte de 15,000 reses tras la importación de ganado de Texas. Se cree que esta enfermedad fue introducida en el sur del país por el ganado traído desde México durante la colonización española. En Australia, ya se tenía constancia de esta fiebre en 1870, posiblemente introducida a principios del siglo XIX.
