  1. piroplasm

    Piroplasm is a type of protozoan parasite that infects the red blood cells of various vertebrates such as dogs, cats, cattle and other animals. This term is often used to refer to two specific parasitic genera: Babesia and Theileria. These parasites are transmitted through the bite of a blood-feeding tick and can cause diseases like babesiosis and theileriosis. The term 'piroplasm' derives from the pear-shaped form that these parasites often assume within the host's red blood cells.
