Splenectomised calves infected with Babesia major were shown to have no resistance to challenge with Babesia divergens; however, initial infection with B divergens provided a good protection against subsequent challenge with B major. It is suggested that this might mean that B divergens would be the dominant and most commonly encountered species in areas where both occur.
已证明，感染大型巴贝斯虫的脾切除小牛对分歧巴贝斯虫的攻击没有抵抗力；然而，初次感染分歧巴贝斯虫可对随后大型巴贝斯虫的攻击提供良好的保护。有人认为，这可能意味着在两种巴贝斯虫都存在的地区，分歧巴贝斯虫将是占主导地位且最常遇到的物种。
