Prevalence of in sheep and goats in northwestern Saudi Arabia with notes on potential vectors.

The prevalence of spp. infecting sheep and goats were investigated in two cities and surroundings in northwest Saudi Arabia. Blood samples from 403 sheep and goats from Madina ( = 201) and Tabuk ( = 202) cities (177 from sheep and 226 from goats) were investigated.

Molecular prevalence, associated risk factors and phylogenetic evaluation of Theileria lestoquardi in the blood samples of small ruminants.

Raising small ruminants is the main source of income for farmers in Pakistan especially in rural areas of Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab. Despite having large sheep population, the prevalence of intra-erythrocytic protozoa, Theileria (T.) lestoquardi, has never been reported from this area.
