The ability of a material to conduct electrical energy is known as its conductivity. Not surprisingly, materials that are good conductors have high conductivity, while materials that are good insulators have low conductivity.
Babesiosis is a rare, severe and sometimes fatal tick-borne disease caused by various types of Babesia, a microscopic parasite that infects red blood cells. In New York state, the causative parasite is Babesia microti.
Babesiosis is another rare tick-borne disease in cats, caused by the Babesia felis parasite. Infections in kitties are thought to occur primarily through tick bites, but other routes of transmission include blood transfer from a dog or cat bite, blood transfusions, and across the placenta in pregnant female cats.
