Abstract
A description is given of a haematozoan from an Indian house crow, Corvus splendens Vieillot, from Karachi, Pakistan. This organism is identified as Babesia moshkovskii (Schurenkova, 1938), following a review of the literature. Other hosts for B. moshkovskii include the domestic fowl, which also harbors the better known babesioid Aegyptianella pullorum Carpano, and eagles, herons, kestrels, and owls in Tadjikistan (U.S.S.R.), Indo-China, and Egypt.Keywords
