Genus piroplasma is a type of protozoan parasite that infects the red blood cells of animals, causing diseases such as babesiosis.
The genus piroplasma includes species such as Babesia bovis, which infects cattle, and Babesia canis, which infects dogs.
Piroplasms are transmitted to animals through the bite of infected ticks.
The parasites multiply within the red blood cells, causing the cells to rupture and release their contents into the bloodstream.
