Objective: To investigate the presence of T. annulata and T. buffeli/orientalis complex in the blood of 172 cattle selected from 9 different regions of Kırşehir.
Methods: Genes for the merozoite surface antigen (Tams 1) and the major piroplasm surface protein (MPSP) were amplified with multiplex- PCR for T. annulata and T. buffeli/orientalis, respectively.
Results: By multiplex-PCR examination 4 (2.32%) samples were positive for T. annulata whereas none of the samples were positive for T. buffeli/orientalis complex.
Conclusion: In this study, it is concluded that simultaneous diagnosis of Theileria species by using multiplex-PCR is more practical than the investigation of species individually by using classical PCR. We also believe that a more accurate epidemiological data is achieved with the use of moleculer diagnosis methods such as multiplex-PCR, which eliminates the disadvantages of the traditional methods used in the diagnosis of parasitic diseases.

Survey on tick-borne pathogens in ticks removed from humans in Northwestern Italy.

Ticks are able to transmit several pathogens to the host while feeding, and thus are considered the most important vectors of infectious agents together with mosquitos. The global incidence of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) is rising, due to increased interactions between pathogens, hosts and vectors, linked to global changes. Given that information about the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in ticks removed from humans in Italy are scarce, the aim of the present study was to identify the species of ticks biting humans in Northwestern Italy and tick-borne pathogens they harbour.

Theileria buffeli/orientalis is a group of benign and mildly pathogenic species of cattle and buffalo in various parts of the world. In a previous study, we identified T. buffeli in blood samples originating from the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Park (HIP) and the Addo Elephant Game Park (AEGP) in South Africa.

Few studies have been published on bovine piroplasmoses in Italy, and therefore a clear picture of the epidemiology of these infections is difficult to obtain. Vertebrate and invertebrate hosts in Central and Northern Regions of Italy were investigated in 2005 and 2006, when microscopy, molecular tools and serological tests were applied to 468 blood samples drawn from cattle in order to evaluate the presence of these protozoa and identify possible risk factors. Ticks were also collected, identified and analyzed by molecular techniques.
