“…Susceptibility of anaplasmosis in relation to sex recorded in this study revealed that prevalence of Anaplasma infection was more prevalent in female cattle, which also conforms with the earlier reports (Alim et al, 2012;Atif et al, 2012;Chowdhury et al, 2006;Kamani et al, 2010;Sajid et al, 2014). The prevalence of Babesia and Anaplasma infection is higher in female cattle possibly due to the fact that they were kept longer for breeding and milk production purpose, supplied insufficient feed against their high demand ( Kamani et al, 2010). Prevalence of Babesia as well as Anaplasma infections was significantly higher in tick infested cattle than the apparently tick free cattle.…”

Babesiosis and anaplasmosis are important tick borne diseases and they are responsible for significant economic losses for livestock industry worldwide. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in randomly selected 400 cattle at two upazilas of Rangpur district in Bangladesh, to estimate the prevalence and identify the risk factors of Babesia and Anaplasma infections. Microscopic examination of Giemsas stained blood films was carried out for the tentative diagnosis of infections. Multiplex PCR was also performed to confirm microscopically positive samples. To identify the risk factors, odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were calculated. The overall prevalence of Babesia and Anaplasma infections were 1.5% and 3.5%, respectively. The prevalence of Babesia infections recorded in Gangachara and Pirgachaupazilas were 1.3% and 1.7%, respectively while it was 3.8% and 3.3%, respectively for Anaplasma infection. Insignificantly higher prevalence of both infections was recorded in crossbred cattle than those of indigenous cattle. Female cattle had insignificantly higher infection (3.8%) with Anaplasma than the male cattle (2.3%) while no infection with Babesia was found in any male cattle. None of the calves (?1 yr) had infection with either organism. However, infection with both organisms was more prevalent in young cattle (>1-2.5 yr) than those of adult cattle (>2.5 yr). The availability of blood sucking ticks was one of the potential risk factors for both infections (OR = 6-7). Age (>1-2.5 yr) was identified as another important risk factor which had significant association with the occurrence of Anaplasma infection (OR = 4.36). The information generated from this study could be useful as basic information for further advanced epidemiological study and formulation of control measures of the tick borne diseases.Progressive Agriculture 26:51-59, 2015

“…Kamani et al (2010) also recorded higher prevalence of Babesia as well as Anaplasma infections in adult than young cattle. However, Chakraborti (2002) and Chowdhury et al (2006) reported that greater infection rate was in animal in the 6-12 months age group.…”

“…Regarding sex-wise distribution, a higher anaplasmosis infection rate in females as compared to male cattle had been recorded in the present study were not indifferent from those reported elsewhere (Atif et al, 2013;Kamani et al, 2010 andAlim et al, 2012). Higher prevalence of T. annulata and A. marginale were reported in female animals (Durrani, 2008).…”

Abstract:A detailed cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors of theileriosis and anaplasmosis in cattle of Dinajpur district over a period of six months from January to June 2014. A total of 200 samples were randomly collected from the cattle. A pretested questionnaire was implemented to collect data on different risk factors. Blood smears were prepared and examined under microscope (100 xs) with Giemsa's stain. The study revealed proportional prevalence was 10% for theileriasis and 18.5% for anaplasmosis. The percentages of theileriasis and anaplasmosis 12.61% and 22.52% were higher in female than in male animal 6.74% and 13.48% respectively. In both cases, female showed higher positivity in compare with male. The univariate logistic regression analysis revealed cattle with a herd size >10 (OR=4.3), temperature (≥ 103ºF) (OR=3.27), presence of tick in the body surface (OR=3.09) and record of Ivermectin treatment (OR=4.47) were found significantly associated with theileriasis prevalence (p<0.05) and irregular bathing history was found significantly associated in the case of anaplasmosis prevalence (OR=0.23). However, in multivariate analysis, temperature (≥ 103ºF) (OR=2.89), presence of tick in the body surface (OR=2.80) and animal with a record of Ivermectin treatment (OR=4.24) showed significant association with theileriasis and herd size >10, deep brown; white colour and bathing history were significantly associated (P < 0.05) with the anaplasmosis. Good husbandry practice and adoption of hygienic measures are needed among the high risk group or individuals to minimize the spread of the disease.

“…Even though this difference was not statistically significant, this finding was in agreement with the report of Kocan et al [25] who found higher prevalence of babesiosis in female 11.2% (184/1639) compared to male cattle 6.96%. Moreover, the higher prevalence of tick borne diseases in female animals may be due to the fact that female animals are kept longer for breeding and milk production purposes [26]. On other hand higher prevalence in female animals might be due to hormonal disturbances due to its use in milk production and breeding system which lowers the immune system of the animal.…”

“…This variation can be due to the fact that young animals have less rate of infestation with tick as compared to old animals. On the other hand lower prevalence in young animals attributed due to restricted grazing of young animals which likely to reduce their chance of contact the vectors of these diseases [26].…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November, 2013 to April, 2014 to assess the prevalence of bovine babesiosis in Teltele District, North West Borena Zone, Southern Ethiopia. A total of 384 blood samples were collected from ear vein of cattle from four peasant associations (PAs). In this study the overall prevalence of bovine babesiosis was found 16.9% (65/384) using microscopic examination of Geimsa stained blood smear. Significant variation was observed among study areas (P<0.01). Four PAs were assessed and the lowest prevalence was recorded in Fulotole (9.4%) followed by Hatuse (13.6%), Kulcha (18.2%) while the highest was recorded in Billa kebele (27.85%). Higher prevalence was recorded in female (17.5%) than male (16.3%) with significant difference (P<0.05). Age wise prevalence showed the highest prevalence among old animals (23.5%) followed by adult (15%) and young animals (13.2%). Body condition of the animal was significantly associated (P<0.001) and highest prevalence recorded in animals with poor body condition (35.96%). Two species of Babesia identified were B. bovis (9.9%) followed by B. bigemina (7%). In conclusion the results of this study have indicated that bovine babesiosis was highly prevalent in the study area. This warrants appropriate tick control and strategic prophylactic treatment in order relive the current challenges in the focus area.
