There are four Babesia species that are known to occur in cattle in Southern Africa. These are Babesia bovis, Babesia bigemina, Babesia occultans and an unnamed species. In animals which have died from acute B. bovis infections there is severe congestion of most organs with serosal petechiae and ecchymoses occuring in many organs.
