Ticks and tick-borne diseases, including theileriosis, constitute a major constraint to livestock production. Two species, known as Theileria lestoquardi and Theileria ovis, are suspected to contribute to ovine theileriosis in Iran. However, the epidemiological aspects of ovine theileriosis are poorly understood in this country. In a survey, designed to identify Theileria species in sheep, 52 (...

The three anti-malarial drugs artemiside, artemisone, and mefloquine, and the naphthoquinone buparvaquone known to be active against theileriosis in cattle and Leishmania infections in rodents, were assessed for activity against Neospora caninum infection. All four compounds inhibited the proliferation of N. caninum tachyzoites in vitro with IC50 in the sub-micromolar range, but artemisone and ...

This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of theileriosis and to compare the prevalence of this disease in Korean native cattle reared under different environmental conditions, namely, in a grazing area and a non-grazing area by polymerase chain reaction. Three hundred and one Korean native cattle (276 cows and 25 bulls) that had not received prior treatment or been vaccinated to p...

Theileria species are common in tropical and subtropical regions and cause great economical losses inruminants. Two species, T. lestoquardi and T. ovis, are suspected to cause ovine theileriosis in Iran. Theepidemiological aspects of ovine theileriosis in Iran are poorly understood and further investigations bysensitive and precise techniques are required. In a previous study, a sensitive and s...

Aim The objective of this study was to examine the carrier status of theileriosis among apparently healthy cross-bred jersey cattle population of Odisha using conventional blood smear examination and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Materials and Methods A total of 34 apparently healthy cross-bred Jersey lactating cows were considered in this study. Blood samples were subjected to microscopic...

background: in this study, the pilot production of aerobic bioreactor tropical theileriosis vaccine was optimized with the aim of immunological assays for further mass production. methods: we have shown earlier the delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) assay could be used for evaluating the immunity and memory cells against specific theileria antigen in vaccinated animals. in addition, tnf-α is t...

Received: Revised: Accepted: Published online: June 18, 2016 October 13, 2016 October 14, 2016 November 17, 2016 The word-wildly spread Theileria, is an economical important parasite to sheep and goats production. However, a little is known about whether goats in Hubei province are exposed to Theileriosis. Therefore, a survey was conducted to investigate the prevalence of Theileria infection in...

Theileriosis is a serious animal disease that is transmitted by ticks. Theileria species are tick-borne obligate intracellular protozoan parasites that cause severe and mild infections in their hosts. Two of them, Theileria annulata and Theileria parva, cause lymphoproliferative disease with high mortality and morbidity in cattle commonly known as tropical theileriosis and East Coast fever, res...
