Molecular assay reagents intended to identify Babesia microti, a species of hematozoan protozoon, by detecting specific genetic information of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the target parasite. These parasites may cause babesiosis (piroplasmosis), a disease characterized by malaria-like fever, chills, sweats, and myalgia. The parasite is typically transmitted to humans by rodent ticks.
