Babesia motasi is a species belonging to Alveolata and the family Babesiidae. In sheep causes babesiosis disease, called "sheep babesiosis". At a length of 2.5-5 μm, Babesia motasi is relatively large for a species of protozoa. Morphologically, the parasites are usually pear-shaped. B. motasi is rarely found in erythrocytes.

Babesia motasi has been known to cause babesiosis in humans.^[1]
