Prevalence and Risk Factors Associated with Theileria annulata Infection in Two Bovine Portuguese Autochthonous Breeds

Diana Valente et al.

Summary: This study assessed the occurrence of Theileria annulata infection in two indigenous Portuguese cattle breeds. A lower prevalence (10.8%) was found compared to previous studies (21.3%). There was a statistically significant difference in positivity between breeds, with older animals having a higher probability of being positive. The region where Mertolenga animals are located was shown to significantly impact positivity. Therefore, developing sustainable control strategies for T. annulata adapted to higher risk epidemiological conditions will be crucial.

Diversity and Distribution of Theileria Species and Their Vectors in Ruminants from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh

Jehan Zeb et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the diversity and distribution of Theileria species affecting cattle, water buffaloes, goats, and sheep in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The findings revealed the presence of multiple Theileria species and identified potential tick vectors responsible for their wide distribution. Further research is needed to bridge knowledge gaps and improve livestock health and production.

Emergence of Theileria species in ticks from free-ranging domestic animals in Raymond Mhlaba local municipality, South Africa

Benson Chuks Iweriebor et al.

Summary: Ticks infestations and associated diseases pose a major threat to wildlife, domesticated animals, and human health. This study in South Africa's Eastern Cape Province aimed to investigate the occurrence of tick-borne pathogens in livestock. Out of 962 ticks collected, only 1% were found to be infected with Theileria spp., while no ticks tested positive for Babesia spp. The findings indicate the emergence of Theileria spp. in livestock in the study area, calling for urgent measures to curb the spread of these pathogens.

Molecular Epidemiology of Theileria annulata in Cattle from Two Districts in Punjab (Pakistan)

Asia Parveen et al.

Summary: Pakistan is a tropical country with a high incidence of tick-borne diseases, particularly affecting the livestock sector. A study comparing the infection rate of Theileria annulata in cattle from two regions in Pakistan found higher prevalence in Dera Ghazi Khan. Large-scale tick and tick-borne disease control strategies are recommended for both districts, especially in Dera Ghazi Khan.

Theileria's Strategies and Effector Mechanisms for Host Cell Transformation: From Invasion to Immortalization

Kerry Woods et al.

Summary: Following invasion by Theileria sporozoites, one of the first events is the destruction of the host cell membrane and rapid association with host microtubules. Theileria species transform bovine cells by rewiring signaling pathways and controlling mitotic machinery. Theileria-encoded proteins can modify host gene expression, but their mode of action and secretion pathways are not well understood.

Epidemiology and molecular characterization of Theileria annulata in cattle from central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan

Raqeeb Ullah et al.

Summary: The study in central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, investigated the epidemiological and phylogenetic profiles of Theileria annulata infection in cattle. It found that young, female, crossbred cattle with tick infestation and grazing freely were more susceptible to tropical theileriosis. Host age, tick infestation, acaricides use, and feeding method were identified as significant risk factors for the disease.
