Name

The name of this page (Theileria microti) should be reconsidered. While I realize the debate over the proper taxonomic treatment of this organism is ongoing, the name Theileria microti has not been formally proposed or widely adopted at all. The most recent authoritative sources^[1]^[2] still refer to it as Babesia microti and so this page ought to be amended to reflect the most widely used and accepted generic name, not simply an opinion.
