Abstract
The development of Babesia ovata in the salivary glands of nymphal Hae maphysalis longicornis ticks was morphologically studied for 4 days of feeding of tick on rabbits. Babesia ovata showed two forms (sporont a nd sporozoite) in the budding process. Sporozoites were formed in the acinar cells of salivary glands and released from the hollow cytoplasm ic area of these cells by day 4 of feeding.
