detection of babesia hongkongensis sp. nov. in a free-roaming felis catus cat in hong kong.

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.
