“…The studies from other countries revealed high prevalence rate like 20.1% and41.7% was reported from Niger state by ( 18,19).Fluctuation in the prevalence rates might be due to different sample number and variation of environmental conditions that affect both parasites and vectors. In this study no differences were observed between horse age and sex with the rate of infection, which is consistent with findings by (10,19,24). These result might be due to high numbers of ticks in this area and continuous exposure of horses to infected ticks ( 18).…”

The present study was planned to investigate equine babesiosis in dragging horses in Baghdad city, Iraq by using microscopical and molecular (PCR) techniques. 150 blood samples of horses examined for Theileria equi and Babesia caballi. 16.66% (25/150) were positive by microscopic examination. No significant difference was observed in infection rates between male and female horses and among different age groups. The result showed that PCR method has high rate of infection36% (9/25). Nine positive PCR products were sequenced and deposited in Genebank data base for first time in Iraq, phylogenic analysis demonstrated that 5 sequences belongs to T. equi (MK350319, MK346272, MK346273, MK346274 and MK36275), while 4 sequence (MK346276, MK346277, MK346278 and MK350318) belongs to B. caballi, and mounted a low genetic variation 0.035 and 0.05 respectively, among other comparison isolates. In conclusion PCR technique followed by phylogenic tree analysis a reliable methods for epidemiological, diagnosis and identification of genetic variants studies.

“…The authors indicated influences of age, sex, and management strategy on the parasite community. The highest species diversity ( n = 30–31) was observed in the free-ranging horses, the lowest ( n = 15) in stabled horses (Slivinska et al ., 2016 c ).…”

“…A protozoan blood parasite, Theileria equi (Piroplasmidae) and a bacterium, Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Rickettsiales) were detected with a molecular technique (i.e., nested PCR) in foals of Polish konik horses breeding under free-ranging conditions in the Biebrzanski National Park (Slivinska et al ., 2016 c ). This was the only report of a molecular survey of tick-borne pathogens in Polish konik horses.…”

The influence of internal and external parasites on the health of Polish konik horses housed in different types of management strategies in Poland is discussed. This study includes consolidated data of different authors from the past 50 years, supplemented by results of more recent research. A total of 38 species of helminths (i.e., 37 Nematoda and one Cestoda) and five Diptera species were recorded from the horses. Protozoan parasites, Cryptosporidium spp. and Theileria equi, and the Rickettsiales, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, were observed for the first time in Poland.

Wprowadzenie i cel pracy. Kleszcze są zaliczane do obligatoryjnych ektopasożytów kręgowców lądowych, w tym również i człowieka. Stanowią rezerwuar, niekiedy wektor wielu drobnoustrojów chorobotwórczych (bakterii, wirusów i pierwotniaków) zagrażających zdrowiu zwierząt i ludzi. Głównym celem pracy była próba oceny, czy powszechnie występujące w Polsce kleszcze z gatunku Ixodes ricinus i Dermacentor reticulatus mogą stanowić potencjalny wektor i rezerwuar dla pierwotniaków: Babesia i Theileria, oraz Toxoplasma gondii, a tym samym odgrywać rolę w krążeniu tych patogenów w przyrodzie. Skrócony opis stanu wiedzy. Do grupy pierwotniaków występujących w kleszczach należą rodzaje Theileria spp., Babesia spp., i jak stwierdzono w ostatnich badaniach-Toxoplasma gondii. Rodzaje Theileria i Babesia stanowią duże zagrożenie głównie dla zwierząt, powodując m.in. gorączkę wschodniego wybrzeża, tropikalną tejleriozę, babeszjozę. Z kolei Toxoplasma gondii to pierwotniak szczególnie niebezpieczny dla kobiet w ciąży, który może wywoływać trwałe i nieodwracalne wady płodu. Dotychczasowe badania potwierdzają obecność tych pierwotniaków u niektórych gatunków kleszczy, jak również możliwość współwystępowania niektórych z nich w jednym osobniku. Podsumowanie. Z punktu widzenia zdrowia publicznego, badania dotyczące potencjalnej roli kleszczy w transmisji pasożytniczych pierwotniaków mogą przyczynić się do oceny realnego zagrożenia nabycia infekcji w przypadku pokłucia przez kleszcze. Szczególne znaczenie dla kobiet ciężarnych miałyby wyniki dotyczące roli kleszczy jako alternatywnej drogi w transmisji Toxoplasma gondii-czynnika etiologicznego toksoplazmozy.
