The provided UK guideline context focuses on the diagnosis and testing for Lyme disease and does not specify which laboratory tests are most effective for confirming a diagnosis of babesiosis in a primary care setting 1. While the guideline mentions considering alternative diagnoses, including other tick-borne diseases, if Lyme disease tests are negative and symptoms persist, it does not detail specific laboratory investigations for babesiosis 1.
