background: babesiosis and thosis are parasitic tick-borne diseases that cause a lot of economic loss in livestock industry. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to detect babesia and theileria infection in goats and and vector ticks in goats in mashhad. methods: one hundred blood samples of goats and 246 ticks were collected from some suspected flocks with history of piroplasmosis....

Parasitic diseases, like babesiosis and theileriosis are transmitted by ticks: their occurrence is therefore linked to the size of the tick stock and the seasonality of the vectors. Babesia divergens bovine babesiosis transmitted by Ixodes ricinus is widespread and often reported in France. Serological prevalence is high, ranging from 20 to 80% according to the farms. Clinical incidence is low:...

Postmortem records of cattle brought to the Veterinary School in Kabete near Nairobi were examined for a period of 15 years (1984-1998, inclusive) in order to establish the role that parasitic diseases played as causes of death. The cattle were mainly of exotic breeds but a few were crosses or of indigenous breeds. There was a total of 1413 cases of deaths from various diseases of which 177 (13...

| Parasitic zoonoses are considered as serious threat in a developing country like India, despite improvements achieved in the status of education and awareness of the people. This review provides an elaborate account of present status of emerging/re-emerging parasitic zoonoses in the country. Various important parasitic zoonoses viz., angiostrongylosis, cryptosporidiosis, cysticercosis, dirofi...

Human babesiosis is an emerging tick-borne disease caused by the intraerythrocytic protozoan Babesia microti. Its geographic distribution is more limited than that of Lyme disease, despite sharing the same tick vector and reservoir hosts. The geographic range of babesiosis is expanding, but knowledge of its range is incomplete and relies exclusively on reports of human cases. We evaluated the u...

b a ckground: babesiosis is a haemoparasitic disease of domestic and wild animals caused by species of the genus bab esia . bab esia bigemina , b . bovis and b . divergens are known to be pathogenic in cattle. the disease is transmit- ted during blood feeding by infected ticks and is the most economically important tick-borne disease in tropical and subtropical areas. ixodid ticks are vectors i...

Abstract Potential reinvasion of the United States by cattle fever ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus (Say) and R. (B.) microplus (Canestrini), which are endemic in Mexico, threatens domestic livestock industry because these ticks vector causal agents (Babesia bovis (Babes) (Piroplasmida: Babesidae) B. bigemina Smith & Kilborne) bovine babesiosis. The Cattle Fever Tick Eradication P...
