  • Title: Detection of Babesia hongkongensis sp. nov. in a free-roaming Felis catus cat in Hong Kong.
    Author: Wong SS, Poon RW, Hui JJ, Yuen KY.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2012 Aug; 50(8):2799-803. PubMed ID: 22649017.
    Abstract:
    Intraerythrocytic Babesia-like trophozoites were seen in postmortem kidney sections of a free-roaming cat in Hong Kong. DNA sequences of the 18S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome b genes had only 96.7% and 90.4% nucleotide identity with known Babesia sequences. We propose that this new species be named Babesia hongkongensis.
