“…Different countries from Africa, including Uganda, Kenya, Morocco, Ghana and Tanzania reported bovine anaplasmosis outbreaks during 2003 to 2019 ( Bah, 2016 ; Sisson et al, 2017 ; Byaruhanga et al, 2018 . Ringo et al, 2018 ). In a study conducted by Ait Lbacha et al, 71% (303/422) of small ruminants in Morocco were infected by Anaplasma spp.…”

“…Human granulocytic anaplasmosis is uncommon in Europe, but it's the most prevalent tick-borne infection in animals ( Sainz et al, 2015 ; Pokorn et al, 2016 ). It's reported that the prevalences of the Ixodes ricinus as vector have been increasing in most of the states of the USA ( Ringo et al, 2018 ). In general, types of grazing system in the husbandry of the livestock, climate conditions of the area, flock size, strain of Anaplasma , abundance of the tick as vector are some variables that significantly affects on the prevalence of infection ( Rosso et al, 2017 ).…”

Anaplasma species are tick-borne pathogens that are obligatory intracellular of ruminants and other mammalians. In this investigation, we systematically reviewed the distribution of anaplasmosis among domestic ruminants in Iran. Five and four English and Persian databases were studied, respectively, based on keywords and throughout 17 years (2001–2017). Thirty-eight articles were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Totally, 5093 cattle, 1958 sheep, and 1232 goats corresponding to prevalence of Anaplasma infection from different areas of Iran were examined. The total prevalence of Anaplasma infection was estimated to be 34% (95% CI 27%, 41%) in domestic ruminants. Based on our data, Khozestan (54%) and Khorasan Razavi (46%) provinces were the most prevalent areas in Iran and Kerman (3%) and Hamedan (1%) provinces are the lowest. The highest prevalence of Anaplasma spp. infection was belonged to A. ovis (44%) and the lowest to A. phagocytophilum (1%) with a significant difference among them ( p < .001). In addition, the most common diagnostic tests were PCR (54%), microscopy (35%) and ELISA (7%) assays. The high prevalence of ovine and bovine anaplasmosis in Iran, confirms the stability situations of animal anaplasmosis in the studied regions particularly northeastern and southwestern parts of the country. Our data offer valuable and encouraging information as regards the current situation of anaplasmosis in domestic livestock in Iran, which might be useful for active and passive surveillance and preventing plans.

“…La extracción de ADN de especies de garrapatas es de gran importancia para estudios genéticos, así como también, la detección de patógenos en estos vectores (Muñoz-Leal et al 2019; Ringo et al 2018). Según los métodos de extracción de ADN de garrapatas probados, el método comercial, basado en columnas, presentó altos rendimientos de ADN, probado junto a la amplificación del segmento del gen mt16S, al igual que el método Tiocianato de Guanidina.…”

Assessing the Immunochromatographic Test Strip for Serological Detection of Bovine Babesiosis in Uganda

et al. 2020

In Uganda, bovine babesiosis continues to cause losses to the livestock industry because of shortages of cheap, quick, and reliable diagnostic tools to guide prescription measures. In this study, the presence of antibodies to Babesia bigemina and Babesia bovis in 401 bovine blood samples obtained from eastern and central areas of Uganda were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and immunochromatographic test strips (ICTs). The ELISA and ICT test used targeted the B. bigemina C-terminal rhoptry-associated protein (RAP-1/CT17) and B. bovis spherical body protein-4 (SPB-4). Using ELISA, single-ICT and dual-ICT, positive samples for B. bovis were detected in 25 (6.2%), 17 (4.3%), and 14 (3.7%) samples respectively, and positive samples for B. bigemina were detected in 34 (8.4%), 27 (6.7%), and 25 (6.2%), respectively. Additionally, a total of 13 animals (3.2%) had a mixed infection. The correlation between ELISA and single-ICT strips results revealed slight agreement with kappa values ranging from 0.088 to 0.191 between both methods, while the comparison between dual-ICT and single-ICT results showed very good agreement with kappa values >0.80. This study documented the seroprevalence of bovine babesiosis in central and eastern Uganda, and showed that ICT could, after further optimization, be a useful rapid diagnostic test for the diagnosis of bovine babesiosis in field settings.
