Ghazaei, C. 2007. Babesiosis in a steppe Saker Falcon (Falco cherrug)—a case report. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 31: 183–184.
An endangered Saker falcon (Falco cherrug) showing clinical signs of infection with Babesia was found near the Ardabil desert of Iran. The bird was treated with Imidocarb Dipropionate (Imizol, Pitman-Moore Ltd) and made a complete recovery. This appears to be the first report of avian babesiosis in this species.
