background: ovine babesiosis is the most important haemoparasitic tick-borne disease of small ruminants in iran caused by babesia ovis, b. motasi, and b. crassa . the aim of this study was to characterize the species of ovine babesia species isolated from different geographical region of iran. methods: one hundred fifty four blood samples collected from animals, which demonstrated the pale muco...

Piroplasmosis caused by different tick-borne hemoprotozoan parasites of the genera Theileria and Babesia is among the most economically important infections of domestic ruminants in sub-Saharan Africa. A survey for piroplasm infection was conducted in three locations in Northern Ethiopia. Of 525 domestic ruminants surveyed, 80% of the cattle, 94% of the sheep and 2% of the goats were positive f...

BACKGROUND: Ovine anaplasmosis and theileriosis are important tick-borne diseases of sheep and goats which are distributed in the tropical and subtropical areas of the world. OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to assess hematological status in sheep naturally infected with Anaplasma and Theileria spp. to clarify the pathogenic aspects of various species involved in ovine anaplasmosis and thei...

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...

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...

Background: Babesia is blood-tissue parasite, which are transmitted by hard ticks from Ixodidae family. The parasite is the cause of Babesiosis among ruminants. Babesia is as one of main fatal factors among livestock in endemic regions such as Iran. The aim of this study was to investigate Babesia spp infection using microscopic and molecular methods among small ruminants in Mazandaran and Gole...
