Deger Y., H. Mert, S. Dede, F. Yur, N. Mert: Serum Total and Lipid-Bound Sialic Acid Concentrations in Sheep with Natural Babesiosis. Acta Vet. Brno 2007, 76: 379-382. The aim of this study was to determine the serum concentrations of total and lipid-bound sialic acid in sheep naturally infected with Babesia ovis before and after treatment. Thirty diseased sheep and ten control animals were use...

the activity and efficacy of iranian synthesized imidocarb dipropionate (imidorazi) has been tested against babesia ovis infection in experimentally and naturally affected sheep. the results indicated that the drug is effective and could be used for treatment of sheep and goats babesiosis. the effectiveness of imidorazi is also similar to the imizol (imidocarb dipropionate) imported from abroad.

Babesiosis is an important tickborne disease in the sheep of Iran. OBJECTIVES: A molecular study was carried out in North Khorasan province, Iran in 2010-2011, designed to identify Babesia spp. infection of both sheep and ticks. METHODS: Ninety sheep from different flocks were clinically examined and blood samples were collected with ixodid  ticks . The collected ticks were separated into 82 ti...

BACKGROUND Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Hyalomma marginatum are the most common species in sheep herds in Northeast of Iran. There is preliminary evidence that these species may be the vectors of Babesia ovis in Iran. We carried out two experiments in Mashhad area, Khorasan Razavi Province to determine whether B. ovis could be transovarially transmitted by R. sanguineus and H. marginatum. MET...

Babesia ovis plays an important role in causing anemia and kidney dysfunction in affected animals. There are few extensive studies about hematological and biochemical findings of small ruminants' babesiosis caused by B. ovis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of babesiosis on some hematological and biochemical parameters in infected small ruminants with B. ovis. A total of 280 sh...

Melophagus ovinus (sheep ked) is a hematophagous ectoparasite that mainly parasitizes sheep. In addition to causing inflammation, wool loss, and skin damage the animal hosts, M. also serves as vector for variety of pathogens highly likely participate in life transmission cycle pathogenic organisms. Herein, we investigated presence molecular characterization vector-borne from Qinghai-Tibet Plate...

A procedure was developed for delection of Babesia ovis (B.ovis) infection in blood samples containing infected erythrocytes by polymerase chain reaction (l'CR). In order to deteet the DNA parasite in blood sample two sets of oligonucleotides were designed according to the nucleotide sequences of the l8S rRNA and ATP-binding prote in genes of H ovis. These genes were amplified at 286 and 453bp ...
