So I have been thinking out of the box about babesia...

Babesia and malaria are closely related organisms and the infections hard to differentiate via blood smears...
www.mcg.edu/som/pathology/documents/DifferentiatingBabesiafromMalaria.ppt

Is it possible, that the entomologist experts could be wrong, possibly like some of Lyme experts, and Babesia could be spread not just via Ticks but also via Mosquitoes????

I've had the same thoughts. Who knows what actually gets dumped into our blood by mosquitoes! As long as micro-organisms have no immediate effects, it seems as if the medical community turns a blind eye. When you get sick down the road, the mosquito or flea vectors aren't even considered.

I seriously wonder if LYme might come around via mosquitoes more. I'm starting to think I got it once and beat it on my own for the first time, when I was 15 in NYC, when I certainly wasn't spending any time outside other than in city parks, which is really unlikely to have gotten me a tickbite. I know it's possible, but it'd be a lot more scary if mosquitoes sometimes transmitted it.
