“…There was significant increase in the parameters like total white blood cell count, monocyte per cent, MCV and MCH. The occurrence of anaemia in theileria infected animals might be due to the functioning of macrophages in removing the piroplasms from the infected erythrocyte (AL-Amery and Hassso, 2002) [2] . Thrall (2012) [15] explained that the presence of more number of reticulocytes which could not attain the haemoglobin concentration as that of mature erythrocytes might be the reason for decrease in MCHC in theileria infected animals.…”

Theileriosis is an important haemoparasitic disease of goats which causes serious economic losses to farmers. There is a paucity of information on the clinico-haemato-biochemical aspects of caprine theileriosis in Kerala. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the haemato-biochemical alterations associated with clinical cases of caprine theileriosis in twenty five smear positive goats in Thrissur district, Kerala. Major clinical signs observed were anaemia, fever, lymphnode enlargement, anorexia, respiratory distress. Haemato-biochemical analysis revealed macrocytic hypochromic anaemia with low Hb, Volume of Packed Red Cells (VPRC), platelet, Total Erythrocyte Count (TEC) and hyperproteinaemia with hyperglobulinaemia in the affected goats.

“…In Iraq, serological tests employing Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test (IFAT) were used and the seropositivity rate of T. lestoquardi in goats varied from 7.3% to 3.8% in different regions of the country (30, 31). Moreover, using IFAT, 8.9% infection of goats by Theileria were reported in Turkey (22).…”

Background: This study was carried out to identify Theileria spp. infections in goats and ticksin Kermanshah Province, western Iran from May–Sep 2015. Methods: For differentiation of different Theileria spp. both blood and tick samples were examined by nested PCR-RFLP. Results: Light microscopy of blood smears revealed Theileria spp. infection in 22 (5.5%), while 68 (17%) of blood samples were positive using nested PCR. Out of 68 positive samples, 85.3% (58/68) and 11.7% (8/68) were respectively positive for Theileria ovis and T. lestoquardi. Mixed infection was detected in 3% (2/68) cases. Overall, 420 ixodid ticks belong to seven different hard ticks species were collected from goats. Rhipicephalus turanicus 112 (26.7%), R. sanguineus 95 (22.6%), R. bursa, 91(21.7%), Hyalomma anatolicum, 55(13.1%), H. excavatum 27(6.4%), H. marginatum, 22(5.3%) and Dermacentor marginatus, 18(4.2%) were the main tick species infesting goats. The PCR products obtained from ticks were subjected to the differentiation of Theileria species. Respectively, 2 and 8 pools of H. marginatum and R. turanicus salivary glands were infected with T. ovis and T. lestoquardi. In addition, T. annulata and T. lestoquardi infection weredetected in three pools of H. anatolicum. Conclusion: This is the first report of goats and collected ticks to Theileria spp infection in Iran. The results suggest that T. ovis has a higher prevalence than T. lestoquardi. It is also postulated H. marginatum, R. turanicus and H. anatolicum might play an important role in the field as a vector of Theileria spp in this area.

“…These changes cause intermandibular edema in the affected goat. According to AL-Amery and Hasso (2002) [1] , leucocytosis in the early stages of infection results from increased lymphocyte proliferation, while anaemia in theileriosis is caused by the immune system eliminating erythrocytes infected with piroplasms. This is consistent with the findings of Banka et al (2020) [4] , who observed low PCV, leucocytosis, and anaemia.…”

Caprine theileriosis is a tick-borne infectious disease of goats predominantly transmitted by the Ixodid ticks of the genus Rhiphicephalus and Hyalomma species. In this present study a one-year-old female beetal goat was found to be suffering from inappetence, weakness, jowl edema since 2 days. Detailed clinical examination revealed rough body coat, emaciation, prostration, inability to get up, pyrexia, tachycardia, pale mucus membranes and enlarged lymph nodes. Anaemia, reduced haematocrit, leucocytosis, hypoproteinaemia and hypoalbuminaemia were the significant haematobiochemical abnormalities recorded in the goat. Theileriosis infection was confirmed by detection of piroplasms in red blood cells of Giemsa stained peripheral blood smears. Therapeutic management of the goat with buparvaquone along with supportive treatment resulted in uneventful recovery of the affected goat.
