Article Synopsis
- * A study in western Cuba found that while adult buffaloes did not show tick infestation, both buffalo and cattle calves were similarly infested, although tick larvae survived better on cattle calves.
- * The research confirmed that water buffalo can sustain tick populations and the pathogens can be transmitted to the ticks' offspring, indicating their potential role in TBPs dynamics, though more lab studies are needed for definitive conclusions.
Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is a potential reservoir for Anaplasma marginale in livestock ecosystems of tropical countries. However, their participation in the epidemiological process of bovine anaplasmosis in endemic areas remains unclear. In the present study, the reservoir competence of water buffalo for A.

This buffalo species can be infected by tick-borne hemoparasites and remains a carrier of these pathogens which represent a risk of infection for more susceptible species like cattle. Therefore, studies on the epidemiology of tick-borne hemoparasites in buffaloes are required.
