title: Babesiosis: under-reporting or case-clustering?
abstract: Babesiosis is a tick-borne protozoan disease which principally affects animals but occasionally affects humans. Cases have been reported from many parts of Europe with no evidence of case-clustering. We report the second case of babesiosis from a small area in the west of Ireland.
