Recent advance in the knowledge of the role of Ixodidae in the epidemiology of human piroplasmosis is reviewed, with special emphasis on Babesia species which cause diseases in man. The problem in Europe came to medical attention since 20 cases have been reported, and most of them due to B. divergens. However, contrary to other European countries, the zoonotic reservoir of Babesia spp. in Poland is unknown and further research is required to elucidate the importance of Ixodidae in the transmission of piroplasms.
本文综述了硬蜱科在人类梨形虫病流行病学中作用的最新研究进展，特别强调了能引起人类疾病的巴贝斯虫种类。自20例病例被报道以来，欧洲的这一问题引起了医学界的关注，其中大多数病例是由分歧巴贝斯虫引起的。然而，与其他欧洲国家不同的是，波兰巴贝斯虫属的人畜共患病储存宿主尚不清楚，需要进一步研究以阐明硬蜱科在梨形虫传播中的重要性。
