“…Out of 215 cattle and 85 buffaloes screened, 110 (51.1 %) and 20 (23.5 %) were found positive for haemoprotozoan infections respectively. This finding is in agreement with Ananda et al (2009) who reported almost similar overall prevalence of 43.1 % in crossbred cattle from Bangalore region of Karnataka.…”

“…This is in accordance with the observation made by Vahora et al (2012), Radostits et al (1994), Roy et al (2004), Ananda et al (2009Ananda et al ( , 2014 who have reported the highest prevalence of haemoprotozoan infection in monsoon months. The reason may be due to high abundance of vector population during the monsoon season as compared to other seasons in a year.…”

“…In the present study, the highest prevalence of T. annulata infection was observed followed by B. bigemina and T. evansi infection with a lowest prevalence of A. marginale infection. Similar observations were made by Ananda et al (2009) who reported 31.0 % prevalence of T. annulata followed by 12 % Babesiosis in crossbred cattle from Bangalore region of Karnataka. In another study Ananda et al(2014) reported almost similar prevalence of 29.68 % of T. annulata, but relatively higher prevalence of B. bigemina (45.31 %) and A. marginale (12.5 %) in cattle and buffaloes from Shimoga region.…”

A study was conducted to record the prevalence of Haemoprotozoan infections in bovines of Shimoga region for a period of 1 year from April 2012 to March 2013. A total of 300 blood samples were examined for the presence of haemoprotozoan parasites, of which 215 from cattle and 85 from buffaloes were examined by Giemsa staining technique. Out of 300 blood samples examined, 130 (43.3 %) were found positive for Haemoprotozoan infections. Out of 215 cattle blood samples examined, 62 (28.8 %) were positive for Theileria annulata, 27 (12.5 %) were harbored Babesia bigemina, 15 (6.9 %) were found positive for Trypanosoma evansi and 06 (2.7 %) samples showed Anaplasma marginale. Among 85 buffalo samples examined, 11 (12.9 %) were showed Theileria spp, 04 (4.7 %) found positive for B. bigemina, 03 (3.5 %) were found positive for T. evansi and 02 (2.3 %) were positive for A. marginale. Among haemoprotozoan parasites, the highest prevalence was observed with T. annulata followed by B. bigemina and T. evansi infection. The lowest prevalence was observed with A. marginale infection.

“…Our observations correlate with the results of previous studies on incidence of haemoprotozoan parasites in bovines. (Roy et al, 2004;Ananda et al, 2009Ananda et al, , 2014Sharma et al, 2015 a & b). In the present study, highest incidence of B. bigemina infection was recorded in both cattle and buffaloes.…”

A total of 480 suspected blood samples were collected from cattle (n=254) and buffaloes (n=226) during the study period from September 2011 to December 2014 for determination of prevalence of haemoprotozoan parasites from South Western Gujarat (Junagadh). The conventional optical microscopy of Giemsa stained blood smears revealed that 37% of cattle and 38.93% of buffaloes were infected with haemoprotozoan parasites including Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina, Trypanosoma evansi and Theileria annulata. The animals infected with haemoprotozoan diseases showed lower total erythrocyte count (TEC), haemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and higher total leukocyte count (TLC) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Incidence of haemoprotozoan infection between the breeds differed significantly (P<0.05). Haemoprotozoan infections were recorded significantly higher (P<0.001) in monsoon season followed by summer and being lowest in winter season in cattle. Over all prevalence in female animals were higher than male counterparts. In both the species, over all higher prevalence of babesiosis was recorded in comparison to other haemoprotozoan diseases and the difference being statistically non-significant (p>0.05). The prevalence of B. bigemina in bovines was associated with various risk factors namely age, season and breed (p0.05). Sex wise females recorded apparently higher infection rates than males. The multivariate logistic regression models showed that the risk of babesiosis was significantly higher in rainy season (OR=5.18, P=0.003) followed by summer (OR=3.9, P=0.019) compared to winter season. Conversely, in buffaloes, the risk of babesiosis was significantly higher in summer season (OR=9.0, P=0.004) followed by rainy (OR=7.43, P=0.008) compared to winter season. The risk for anaplasmosis in buffaloes increased by 3.46 times (OR=3.64, p=0.027) in non descriptive breed compared to well defined breed.

“…Constant exposure of infections and development of immunity against such infections might be responsible for lower prevalence in indigenous cattle (Siddiki et al, 2010). On the contrary, more attention in the management of crossbred cattle gives less chance of pre-exposure of vectors and develops no or less immunity, resulting frequent occurrence of such diseases (Ananda et al, 2009;Chowdhury et al, 2006;Siddiki et al, 2010). Age also influences the occurrence of Babesia and Anaplasma infections.…”

Current status of subclinical form of babesiosis and anaplasmosis in cattle at Rangpur district in Bangladesh

Babesiosis and anaplasmosis are important tick borne diseases and they are responsible for significant economic losses for livestock industry worldwide. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in randomly selected 400 cattle at two upazilas of Rangpur district in Bangladesh, to estimate the prevalence and identify the risk factors of Babesia and Anaplasma infections. Microscopic examination of Giemsas stained blood films was carried out for the tentative diagnosis of infections. Multiplex PCR was also performed to confirm microscopically positive samples. To identify the risk factors, odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated. The overall prevalence of Babesia and Anaplasma infections were 1.5% and 3.5%, respectively. The prevalence of Babesia infections recorded in Gangachara and Pirgachaupazilas were 1.3% and 1.7%, respectively while it was 3.8% and 3.3%, respectively for Anaplasma infection. Insignificantly higher prevalence of both infections was recorded in crossbred cattle than those of indigenous cattle. Female cattle had insignificantly higher infection (3.8%) with Anaplasma than the male cattle (2.3%) while no infection with Babesia was found in any male cattle. None of the calves (?1 yr) had infection with either organism. However, infection with both organisms was more prevalent in young cattle (>1-2.5 yr) than those of adult cattle (>2.5 yr). The availability of blood sucking ticks was one of the potential risk factors for both infections (OR = 6-7). Age (>1-2.5 yr) was identified as another important risk factor which had significant association with the occurrence of Anaplasma infection (OR = 4.36). The information generated from this study could be useful as basic information for further advanced epidemiological study and formulation of control measures of the tick borne diseases.Progressive Agriculture 26:51-59, 2015
