Article Synopsis
- Babesia and Theileria are important tick-borne parasites affecting animals, and their presence in different regions of China has not been thoroughly studied.
- From August 2021 to May 2023, researchers collected 645 ticks from various domestic animals across multiple counties in Xinjiang, Chongqing, and Qinghai, identifying three tick species.
- Several Babesia and Theileria species were found, including a potential new genotype of Babesia caballi, raising concerns about its drug resistance and the need for further research into its impact on animal health.
Background: Hyalomma ticks are widely distributed in semi-arid zones in Northwest China. They have been reported to harbor a large number of zoonotic pathogens.
Methods: In this study, a total of 334 Hyalomma asiaticum ticks infesting domestic animals were collected from four locations in Xinjiang, Northwest China, and the bacterial agents in them were investigated.
