“…It might be due to the low prevalence of tick population in that season. This is contradictory to the observation made by Krishnamurthy et al (2016). Who have reported the highest prevalence of haemoprotozoan infection (66.6%) during monsoon season in cattle in Shimoga region of Karnataka.…”

“…The global annual economic losses due to tick borne diseases alone US$18.7 billion, while in India US$ 498.7 million/annum (Ghosh and Nagar 2014), the estimated annual economic losses due to Tropical Theileriosis alone in India was US $800 million (Devendra 1995), whereas, losses in Babesiosis and Anaplasmosis was about US$57 million in India (Anwar 2018). The hot and humid climate is favourable for growth, multiplication and survival of arthropods, which serves as a vector for many blood-borne protozoan diseases (Krishnamurthy et al 2016). It is clinically manifested as fever, anorexia, anaemia, emaciation, threatened abortion and death in the acute form of infections (Maharana et al 2016).…”

A study was carried out to determine the prevalence of haemoparasites in cattle in Cauvery delta region over a period of one year. A total of 228 giemsa stained blood smears were screened for the presence of haemoprotozoa, out of which 34 animals were found to be positive. An overall prevalence of haemoparasites in the sampled cattle were 14.9%, among this Anaplasma sp (8.3%), Babesia sp (3.95%), Theileria sp (2.19%) and Trypanosoma sp (0.44%) as single or mixed blood parasitic infections. In this study Anaplasmosis (14%) was highly prevalent during the winter season and Babesiosis (13.73%) was highly prevalent during summer months followed by Anaplasmosis (9.8%) and Theileriosis (7.8%), the lowest prevalence of Trypanosomiasis was observed during the rainy season. The seasonal variation in prevalence of haemoprotozoan disease might be due to influence of climatic factors on density of vector population in that geographical area. Haemogram revealed decreased level of haemoglobulin, packed cell volume and total erythrocyte count. The serum biochemistry revealed elevated level of liver enzyme Asparate transaminase enzyme. All haemoparasitaemic animals were treated with specific drugs and recovered successfully.

“…High moisture content along with temperature prevailed during rainy season favours the growth and development of larvae is the reason behind highest prevalence of GI parasitic infections during these season as also observed in earlier studies carried by various workers (Laha et al 2013;Chattopadhyay and Bandyopadhyay 2013). Devoid of optimum moisture and temperature for development of larvae in the pasture during hot and cold season, could be the reason of lower and lowest prevalence during spring and winter seasons, respectively.…”

The current study was conducted to investigate the incidence of parasitic diseases in bovines which were sick and brought at veterinary hospital for treatment. A total of 366 samples were investigated from cattle (n = 175) and buffaloes (n = 191) presented at Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC), Veterinary College, Junagadh, Gujarat during January to December 2014. Examination of Giemsa-stained peripheral blood smears exhibited that 58.6 % of cattle and 41.2 % of buffaloes were infected with haemoparasites comprising Babesia bigemina, Theileria annulata, and Anaplasma marginale @ of 54.0, 3.4 and 1.1 in cattle and 38.8, 1.2 and 1.2 percent in buffaloes, respectively. The incidence of total haemoparasites and B. bigemina infections was significantly higher (p \ 0.05) in cattle whereas, incidence of haemoparasites were recorded significantly higher in the month of July to November (i.e., rainy and autumn) in both cattle and buffaloes, respectively (p \ 0.01 and p \ 0.001). Coprological examination revealed that the overall incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infection was 45.5 % in cattle and 43.4 % in buffaloes. The incidence of individual parasite was 11.4, 1.1, 2.3, 4.5, 1.1, 3.4, 2.3 and 19.3 in cattle and 4.7, 0.9, 0.0, 2.8, 0.9, 5.7, 0.0 and 28.3 % in buffaloes for Eimeria spp., Trichuris spp., Toxocara vitulorum, Strongyle, Fasciola spp., amphistomes, Schistosoma indicum and Buxtonella sulcata, respectively which differ insignificantly (p [ 0.05). Seasonal prevalence of GI parasites was highest in summer in both cattle and buffaloes, the data being statistically non-significant (p [ 0.05). However, the incidence of B. sulcata in both cattle (19.3 %) and buffaloes (28.3 %) was higher in comparisons to other GI parasites. The present investigation emphasized that B. bigemina and B. sulcata are the most important parasites of bovines of this region.

“…Parasitic infections are the major cause of the equine diseases with significant economic losses in tropical as well as subtropical regions (Velusamy et al, 2014). Equines are exposed to various parasitic diseases including haemoprotozoan infections that affect the health of the animal resulting in the severe morbidity and mortality which poses a serious economic loss (Ananda et al, 2009;Krishnamurthy et al, 2016). Haemoprotozoan infections cause devasting losses with the mortality in equines has been reported due to the diseases caused by several protozoal parasites including Trypanosma, Babesia, Theileria and Anaplasma (Mattiolo et al, 1994;Salih et al, 2015).…”

“…These haemtophagus insect species are not only responsible for disease transmission but also cause anemia, disturbances in mental health and other blood associated complications with emaciation, anorexia, fever and death in acute cases (Ananda et al, 2009;Maharana et al, 2016). The haemoprotozoan parasites are prevalent in tropics due to favorable environment for vector survival, their growth or reproduction (Krishnamurthy et al, 2016).…”

Haemoprotozoan infections causes devasting loss to the livestock population through mortality and morbidity thereby reducing their production and lowered working efficiency. The present study was conducted to investigate the haemoprotozoan infection in equines in the district Larkana in northern Sindh, Pakistan. A total of 300 blood samples were collected from different species of equines in various localities of Larkana. The study was carried on stray and reared equines, including horses, donkeys and mules. The overall prevalence rate of protozoan infection in equines was found as 23.33% (70 animals) at different talukas/tehsils of district Larkana. Equine species wise haemoprotozoan infection was recorded as 7.69%, 24.11% and 20% in horses, donkeys and mules, respectively. Overall age-wise protozoan prevalence was determined as 18.5% in below 2 year and 23.80% in above 2 years age group. Whereas, in horses the infection rate was noted as 7.69% in above 2 years age group. The donkeys, above 2 years age group were susceptible for haemoprotozoan infections, which was recorded as 24.70% as compared to below 2 years age group (18.51%). In case of mules, the infection rate was recorded as 20% in above 2 years of age group. Overall gender-wise protozoan prevalence was found 43.46% in male equines, whereas in female, it was 21.73%. Equine species wise infection was recorded high in male of horses (9.09%), donkeys (24.13%) and mule (20%) as compared to female horses (0%), donkeys (23.80%) and mule (0%). Housing wise prevalence was recorded as high (51.51%) in chhapra than open (15.97%) and paka (24.39%).The management wise infection was recorded as 100% in stray equines as compared to reared ones (22.81%). The current study provides a baseline data on the prevalence of haemoprotozoans in equines in northern Sindh which may be helpful in designing control strategies for infectious diseases in equines.
