To determine characteristics of natural transmission of Babesia sp. EU1 and B. divergens by adult Nodes ricinus ticks, we examined tick salivary gland contents. We found that l. ricinus is a competent vector for EU1 and that their sporozoites directly invade erythrocytes. We conclude that EU1 is naturally transmitted by l. ricinus.
