- The study focuses on tick-borne haemoparasite infections in small ruminants in Kurdistan province, Iran, examining the prevalence of pathogens like Theileria, Babesia, and Anaplasma, and their tick vectors.
- Researchers collected blood and tick samples from 250 animals and conducted analyses, revealing high prevalence rates of Theileria (91.2%) and lower rates for Anaplasma (23.2%) and Babesia (2.4%) using microscopy and PCR methods.
- Significant associations were found between the presence of these pathogens and various clinical indicators such as body temperature, heart rate, and blood cell counts, indicating the health impact of these infections in small ruminants.
Diverse Onchocerca species are present mostly parasitizing ungulates, with the exception of Onchocerca volvulus (O. volvulus) in humans and O. lupi in canids and cats.
