A novel Babesia species is described from blood collected from 3 common murres (also known as common guillemots) (Uria aalge) from California. This is the first report of a Babesia species from the Alcidae and the second from the Charadriiformes. Babesia uriae n. sp. is morphologically similar to several other avian Babesia species but can be differentiated from Babesia bennetti, the only other species from a host in the Charadriiformes, by size of round and amoeboid forms. Phylogenetic analysis of near-full length 18S rRNA, ITS-1, 5.8S rRNA, and ITS-2 sequences indicated that the Babesia sp. from the common murre is closely related to Babesia poelea, a parasite of brown boobies (Sula leucogaster).
从加利福尼亚州采集的3只厚嘴海鸦（也称为普通海鸠）（乌燕鸥）的血液中发现了一种新型巴贝斯虫。这是首次从海雀科动物中发现巴贝斯虫物种的报告，也是鸻形目中的第二份报告。乌燕鸥巴贝斯虫新种在形态上与其他几种鸟类巴贝斯虫物种相似，但可以通过圆形和阿米巴样形态的大小与鸻形目中唯一已知的另一种宿主物种——贝内特巴贝斯虫区分开来。对近乎全长的18S rRNA、ITS-1、5.8S rRNA和ITS-2序列进行的系统发育分析表明，来自厚嘴海鸦的巴贝斯虫与棕色鲣鸟（白腹鲣鸟）的寄生虫——普氏巴贝斯虫密切相关。
