ABSTRACT
          
            Intraerythrocytic
            Babesia
            -like trophozoites were seen in postmortem kidney sections of a free-roaming cat in Hong Kong. DNA sequences of the 18S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome
            b
            genes had only 96.7% and 90.4% nucleotide identity with known
            Babesia
            sequences. We propose that this new species be named
            Babesia hongkongensis
            .
