A combined formulation of parvaquone and frusemide (Fruvexon, Bimeda, Ireland) was evaluated for treatment experimental tropical theileriosis infection of calves. A total of Friesian dairy calves were infected with T. annulata sporozoite stabilate. Following infection with an equivalent of five infected Hyalomma excavatum ticks per calf all animals, developed severe clinical theileriosis. Fruve...

Received: Revised: Accepted: August 22, 2013 September 29, 2013 October 25, 2013 The aim of the study was to investigate and describe the clinical, parasitological haematological and biochemical findings induced by natural theileriosis in Camelus dromedarius. Sixty-seven out of 173 dromedary camels suffering clinically from fever, anorexia, swelling of the superficial lymph nodes, a rapid loss ...

Little is known about tick-borne diseases in Saudi Arabia, particularly regarding the prevalence of theileriosis in small ruminants. This survey studied the potential vectors of malignant theileriosis in Saudi Arabian sheep. Blood, lymph node and tick samples were collected from animals being treated or necropsied at the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Jeddah, Makkah (western region), and B...

Sci., 22: 303–307 The aim of this study was to determine changes in some biochemical parameters in the healthy and infected sheeps and goats with Theileriosis. Sixty-fi ve sheep and 67 goats were used in the study. Blood sample...

Only a small number of tick species are vectors of important economic diseases or toxicosis in sub-Saharan Africa (see Table 1). These are Amblyomma hebraeum, Amblyomma variegatum, Hyalomma dromedarii, Hyalomma truncatum, Ixodes rubicundus, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi, Rhipicephalus zambe...

Theileriosis is a tick-borne disease caused by a piroplasma of the genus Theileria that can causeanaemia and thrombocytopenia. Its clinical importance for dogs' remains poorly understood,as only some develop clinical signs. In this study, physical and laboratory findings, treatment and outcomes of six client-owned diseased dogs presented at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital are des...

AIM This study aims to develop and to standardize a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay that will diagnose clinical as well as carrier state of the disease and to compare the results with conventional microscopy technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS A herd of crossbred cattle with the previous history of theileriosis in village Lahli, district Rohtak, Haryana, was selected for this study. A tota...
