“…Regarding weather conditions, temperature is the most crucial factor affecting on the activity of the tick. Increase in temperature can cause the increase of the disease happenings (Menshawy et al 2018). Cattle infection reaches the top in the summer season (El Moghazy et al 2014;El-Bahy et al 2018).…”

The current study intended to evaluate the involvement of ticks and mosquitos in Babesia and Theileria transmission. A total of 520 ticks and 280 mosquitoes were collected and pooled (80 pools) from 6 localities in Menofia between May 2019 and May 2021. Ticks and mosquitoes pools were molecularly examined using universal GF2/GR2 Babesia/Theileria primers,PCR revealed thatout of 80 pools19 (23.7%) were positive for piroplasms.One positive pool was subjected to sequencing,the results of the sequence analysis revealed Babesia bovis. Risk factor analysis revealed that animal-keeping togethered has a significant effect onpiroplasms transmission, on the other hand breed, sex, age of animals, season and location have no significant effect on piroplasms transmission. The prevalence of piroplasms infection in animal-keeping togethered was (15time) higher than individual animals, higher in summer season (25.7%) than winter season (10%), higher in animals >3 year (26.3%) compared to the other age groups, in female was (1.6 time) higher than in male, and higher (1.4 times) in imported breeds than native breeds.

Bovine babesiosis is a tick-borne hemoprotozoan disease of cattle. It is caused by intra-erythrocytic protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia, which affects a wide range of domestic and wild animals and occasionally humans. Several species of the genus Babesia are involved, with the two most important species in cattle; are B. bigemina and B. bovis that are mainly transmitted by ticks through the transovarial route. The disease causes severe economic losses in the cattle industry, mainly associated with the reduction in the production rate and high mortalities. The disease prevails in tropical and subtropical areas where overlapping with the vector, one-host tick of Boophilus species, exist. Subclinical babesiosis leads to conversion of the affected livestock to chronic carriers, producing a persistent source of infection for tick vectors, and maintaining the natural transmission of the disease. Active disease cases are commonly diagnosed with the traditional geimsa-stained blood smears, although more advanced diagnosis techniques exist including, but not limited to, the molecular and serological methods. The disease is optimally controlled through treatment of affected animals, and prevention of the disease dissemination by eradicating vector ticks. This review, focused on all aspects of the disease from the historical perspectives, biology of the parasite, risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical signs, vector transmitters, diagnosis, prevention and control.
