“…This nding is also similar to the ndings reported by Talabi et al (2009), where a prevalence of 50.2% was reported in the Trans boundary areas of Ogun State, Nigeria and 54% prevalence in sheep at Abeokuta, Ogun State by Takeet et al (2009). However, the prevalence of 53.9% reported in this study is slightly lower than prevalence of 70% reported by Bakre et al (2020) in their study in Igboora. The differences in prevalence of haemoparasites values in various locations, according to Velusamy et al (2014), could be attributed to differences in geographical location and time periods and also differences in distribution of vectors which transmits the parasites (Agbede, 2013).…”

“…Under the pastoral husbandry system where cattle are extensively grazed on pastures and forests, cattle may be exposed to various arthropod vectors of haemoparasites (Kamani et al 2010). Livestock rearing is faced with a number of constraints which limits productivity and pro tability (Bakre et al 2020). A leading constraint to livestock production is animal diseases which constitute a major obstacle to economic development and of importance is parasitism, a leading cause of production losses due to mortality, reduction in weight gain, low fertility in most countries of the world (Musa et al 2014).…”

This study investigated the prevalence of haemoparasites and polyparasitism of intestinal helminths amongst cattle slaughtered in two major abattoirs of Abeokuta metropolis and their implications for One Health. Blood and faecal samples were collected from 256 cattle of less than 2 and greater than 2 years of age. Blood samples were screened for PCV using haematocrit centrifuge technique and parasites were detected by microscopy using wet mount, buffy coat and stained thin smear. Helminth eggs and oocysts were detected using centrifugal sedimentation and centrifugal faecal flotation method. Results showed prevalence for Trypanosoma spp., Babesia spp., Anaplasma spp. and Theileria spp. to be 8.3%, 27.34%, 20.7% and 0.39% respectively. For intestinal parasites, prevalence for Strongyle eggs was found to be 73.82%, Neoascaris vitulorum 0.8%, Fasciola spp. 10.15%, Moniezia spp. 4.3%, Eimeria oocyst 35.94% and Cryptosporidium oocyst was 1.17%. Total prevalence for coinfection of haemoparasite and intestinal helminths was 42.6%. Breed-specific prevalence for co-infection of haemoparasites and intestinal parasites showed 55.96%, 37.6% and 6.4% for White Fulani, Red Bororo and Sokoto Gudali respectively, which was statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). With respect to sex, females had higher prevalence 92 (84.4%) of coinfection of haemoparasites and intestinal helminths than males 17 (15.6%), which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). This study revealed a high prevalence of haemoparasites and intestinal parasites in cattle slaughtered in Abeokuta, Nigeria. The presence of Fasciola at the Lafenwa abattoir which is the major market for beef sourcing in Abeokuta shows that the public is at risk of potential outbreak of fascioliasis. With a clear understanding of the epidemiology of fascioliasis, this study therefore recommends strict compliance of meat inspection at abattoirs and the need for immediate operationalization and implementation of a sustainable Preventive One Health intervention in order to mitigate against potential outbreak in Abeokuta.

“…Trypanosomosis is considered the most important constraint to the health and improved productivity of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa ( Taylor, 1998 ). It is ranked among the most important genera of hemoparasites of veterinary importance affecting cattle ( Bakre et al ., 2020 ). The disease is characterized by fever, anemia, reduced productivity, and frequently high mortality, which among the other factors limit the development of rural areas in tropical Africa ( Abenga et al ., 2002 ; Fajinmi et al ., 2007 ).…”

Background: Due to its affordability in disease affected communities and suitability for field application, microscopy has historically been considered the gold standard for field diagnosis of trypanosomosis in rural settings. Aim: This works aims to compare the performance of microscopists on bovine trypanosome microscopy by organizing the first comparative assessment on a correct reading of slides by laboratory professionals using the read slide results and a structured interviewer administered questionnaire in North-central Nigeria. Methods: Ten (10) Participants were addressed, as they were sent a panel of two slides (Slide 1: No Trypanosome present; Slide 2: Trypanosome present) and a questionnaire. Results: All participants greater than 41 years old reported correctly the presence and absence of parasite on slides. Only 3/8 of microscopist from Routine diagnostic laboratory reported correctly the presence of the parasite. Conclusion: Our study confirmed errors in reading slides. Therefore, training of microscopist besides a nationwide quality assessment is recommended.

“…Countries in sub Saharan Africa including Nigeria are mostly affected by these parasites because of the prevailing environmental and socioeconomic conditions that favours the striving of the parasites [8]. In Nigeria, the prevalence of haemoparasites have been reported with variable results [9,10,11]. The pathological impact of the diseases caused by these parasites results in reduction in food conversion rates, reduced milk production rates, high fever, weight loss, in coordination, anaemia, abortion and even death of the animals [7,12].…”

The prevalence of tick-borne haemoparasitic diseases in Zebu Cattle (Bos taurus indicus) ready for slaughter in Yenagoa metropolis, Bayelsa State were investigated. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 200 presumably healthy Zebu cattle using 10ml hypodermal syringe into well- labelled Ethylene Diamine Tetra acetic (EDTA) bottles. Thin and thick blood films were prepared for microscopy. Haematological parameters were determined using the micro haematocrit method. Out of the 200 Zebu cattle examined, 125 (62.5%) were infected. More female75 (75%) were infected than male 50 (50%). The parasites identified were Anaplasma marginale (57.5%), Bebasia bovis (35.8%) and Theileria parva (6.7%). There was a significant reduction (P > 0.05) in the level of PCV (20.53±0.70), Hb (8.60±0.30) and RBC (8.00±0.6) in infected cattle compared to the reference range. The high prevalence of tick-borne haemoparasites in zebu cattle in the study area could be reduced through proper animal management practice, health orientation of herders, good sanitary habit and proper treatment of infected cattle.
