Babesia: Various species of Babesia rely on ticks for transmission to vertebrate hosts, causing babesiosis.

Species that Rely on Mosquitoes:

Dengue virus: Relies on Aedes mosquitoes (especially Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus) for transmission.

Zika virus: Also transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes.

West Nile virus: Transmitted by several species of Culex mosquitoes.
