Biliary fever is now known as Babesiosis in dogs,[1] and horses.[2]
The citation provided for the disease in cats,[3] also refers to Babesia; Nuttallia is a synonym for Babesia.[4]
Per WP:NCMED: "The article title should be the scientific or recognised medical name that is most commonly used in recent, high-quality, English-language medical sources, rather than a lay term (unscientific or slang name) or a historical eponym that has been superseded."
