Arthropod-borne hemoparasites represent a serious health problem in livestock, causing significant production losses. Currently, the evidence of spp., spp., spp., and hemotropic spp. in Algeria remains limited to a few scattered geographical regions. In this work, our objectives were to study the prevalence of these vector-borne pathogens and to search other agents not yet described in Algeria as well as the identification of statistical associations with various risk factors in cattle in the northeast of Algeria. Among the 205 cattle blood samples tested by PCR analysis, 42.4% positive results were obtained for at least one pathogen. The overall rates of spp., / spp., and spp. in the cattle sampled were respectively 30.7%, 18.5%, and 2.9%; co-infections with multiple species was also detected. spp. and spp. were detected at a higher rate in cattle under 3 years old, according to univariate analysis. spp. DNA was detected more frequently in our sample in cattle living in semi extensive farming. Our study provides additional data about spp., spp. and reveals for the first time that and ' Mycoplasma hemobos are present in cattle in Northeast Algeria.
