- Abstract
Given the emergence and reemergence of tick-borne diseases, here we assessed the publishing patterns of research focused on Babesia . We also discuss the implications for the articles published in the last decade, and how more clinical and epidemiological information concerning Babesia is still required. The findings of this article would be useful to define research priorities about Babesia and diagnose the important of scientific production on this pathogen., Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed.
