AIM Tropical theileriosis is fatal hemoprotozoal disease of dairy animals caused by Theileria annulata. The aim of the present study was to detect the T. annulata and comparison of results of molecular and microscopic techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 52 blood samples were collected from the cattle suspected for theileriosis across the Banaskantha district. All the samples were scr...

Arthropod transmitted hemoparasitic diseases are economically important vector-borne diseases of tropical and subtropical parts of the world including Ethiopia. Bovine theileriosis is a tick-borne hemoprotozoan disease of cattle caused by several theileria species and among them T. parva, the cause of East Coast fever and T. annulata, the causative agent of tropical theileriosis are the most pa...

In the present study, we aimed to provide information on the serum content of sialic acids (TSA, LBSA, and PBSA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in cattle affected with naturally acquired theileriosis and anaplasmosis. A total of 55 Holstein cattle, comprising of 15 clinically healthy control animals, 20 cattle with theileriosis, and 20 with anaplasmosi...

AIM In India, dairy industries are important for the livelihood of small scale farmers and dairy owners. Tropical theileriosis, mostly affecting dairy cattle and buffaloes is a major threat to dairy and related industries. Tropical theileriosis is caused by Theileria annulata, a hemoprotozoan parasite transmitted by Ixodid ticks of Hyalomma spp. In the present study, we examined the clinical si...

The Erythrocyte Osmotic Fragility (EOF) in case of anaemic cattle mostly affected with haemolytic anaemia were evaluated in this study. As haemolytic anaemia is a consistent finding in different blood protozoan diseases like theileriosis and trypanosomiasis, determination of EOF in these cases shows the level of osmotic stress in the affected animals. The present study was also aimed to determi...

Abstract Background Epidemiological surveys in Oman have revealed a high prevalence of the co-occurrence pathogenic Theileria lestoquardi and non-pathogenic ovis among sheep Barka region, Oman. Our most recent data illustrated an interaction reduced mortality risk animals co-infected with T. , suggesting that latter confers protection against pathogenicity . The present study extends above find...

BACKGROUND The present study was carried out to investigate the accurate status of ovine Theileria infection in sheep from Ahvaz and surrounding region, a tropical area southwest Iran. METHODS A PCR-RFLP method based on 18S ribosomal RNA gene was designed which could detect and differentiate Theileria and Babesia spp. and also differentiate main Theileria species in sheep at the same time. 11...
