The objective of this study is to draw attention to Apicomplexa-caused diseases transmitted by ticks. We present ultimate and intermediate hosts of Apicomplexa, including man, as well as vectors transmitting these unicellular Protista. We describe symptoms of Apicomplexa-caused diseases and contemporary ...
