Background: Babesiosis is endemic in Pakistan and is one of the most important bovine diseases that causes huge economic losses and high mortality in young animals. This disease is transmitted by a protozoan parasite, which belongs to genus Babesia (Apicomplexa: Piroplasmida: Babesiidae). An...

Bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis cause important economic losses in livestock production. In Uruguay, the main aetiological agents of bovine babesiosis and anaplasmosis are Babesia bovis, B. bigemina and Anaplasma marginale. The aim of this work was to describe the outbreaks of bovine babesiosis...

Bovine babesiosis is a serious threat to the livestock sector especially in tropical countries like India. Understanding the epidemiology of the disease in the country is essentially important in strategizing the available methods to effectively control the disease. Keeping this as the background,...

Bovine babesiosis is a serious threat to the cattle industry. We prepared blood DNA samples from 13 cattle with clinical babesiosis from the Badulla (n=8), Jaffna (n=3), and Kilinochchi (n=2) districts in Sri Lanka. These DNA samples tested positive in PCR assays specific for Babesia bovis (n=9), ...

The apicomplexan tickborne parasites Babesia bovis and B. bigemina are the major causative agents of bovine babesiosis, a disease that negatively affects the cattle industry and food safety around the world. The absence of correlates of protection represents one major impediment for the development ...

This issue contains 48 articles on the haemato-biochemical and mineral alteration in adult diarrhoeic dairy animals infected with salmonellosis; biometry of morbid buck testicles and its correlation with epididymal semen quality; intramedullary implant fixation for management of diaphyseal...

Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina are tick-transmitted piroplasms that cause severe damage to the livestock industry in tropical regions of the world. Recent studies demonstrated differences in infection levels of these haemoparasites among bovine breeds and variation between individual cows...

This study was carried out during the period from May to December 2015 on thirty crossbred female cows in Sherbeen city, Dakahlia Governorate and two to four years of age. Twenty cows suffered from fever, anorexia, increase in respiratory and heart rates, anemia, pale to icteric mucous membranes...

Babesiosis is a disease caused by tickborne hemoprotozoan apicomplexan parasites of the genus Babesia that negatively impacts public health and food security worldwide. Development of effective and sustainable vaccines against babesiosis is currently hindered in part by the absence of definitive...

Bovine babesiosis is continuing as a great threat to the livestock sector causing havoc production losses with significant morbidity and mortality. Being a tick-borne disease, the great complexity in the agent-host- vector relationship has severely hampered the sincere efforts towards the...
