Diversity and Genetic Structure of Theileria annulata in Pakistan and Other Endemic Sites

Salama Al-Hamidhi et al.

Summary: The study found that the genetic structure of Theileria annulata in Pakistan is similar to that in Oman, Tunisia, and Turkey, showing a high level of genetic diversity. The genotypes of the parasite in these countries are geographically sub-structured. The parasite populations in Oman, Indian Subcontinent (Pakistan), Africa (Tunisia), and Europe (Turkey) overlap, indicating some level of parasite gene flow between neighboring countries.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of Piroplasma and Anaplasma species in animal hosts and their associated ticks in Egypt. The results showed a significant prevalence of piroplasmosis and anaplasmosis, with 23.08% of animals testing positive for pathogens DNA. Cattle were found to be co-infected with multiple species, including Theileria annulata, Anaplasma marginale, and Babesia bigemina. Tick infestation was identified as a potential risk factor for anaplasmosis, while no piroplasms were found in the ticks.

Characterization of strains of Anaplasma marginale from clinical cases in bovine using major surface protein 1a in Uruguay

Pablo Parodi et al.

Summary: This study characterized the genetic diversity of Anaplasma marginale in Uruguay for the first time and investigated its relationship with Rhipicephalus microplus. Different genotypes and tandem repeat combinations of the MSP1a gene were identified. Furthermore, a portion of the strains lacked the ability to bind to tick cells, suggesting potential transmission by other vectors.

Naimat Ullah et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the propagation and pathogenic potential of B. bigemina in rabbits and naive calves. The results showed that B. bigemina-infected red blood cells caused parasitaemia and temperature elevation in rabbits, while inoculated naive calves did not show these symptoms. Infected calves exhibited decreased packed cell volume, increased temperature, and parasitaemia. The study also revealed correlations between clinical parameters in different groups of calves.

Knowledge, attitude and perception of bovine piroplasmosis by cattle owners in Constantine, North-East of Algeria, using participatory epidemiology

Asma Amina Foughali et al.

Summary: The study conducted in Beni Hamidene, Algeria, revealed that theileriosis and babesiosis are the most important cattle diseases among the surveyed cattle owners. Additionally, it found that cattle owners perceive these diseases as deadly and prioritize the use of acaricides for tick control. This information is valuable for designing control programs by decision-makers and veterinarians.

Summary: Ticks in Turkey pose a significant challenge to animal production due to the endemic parasitic diseases they carry, including theileriosis, babesiosis, hepatozoonosis, cytauxzoonosis, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis. These diseases have a major impact on the economy and animal health, especially for ruminants, and are controlled primarily through treatment and tick control measures.
