“…(Parker et al, 1985) demonstrated that rickettsia was slightly superior to B. taurus in comparison to B. indicus, but the clinical signs were not different between the races. This report revealed that crossbred cattle were mostly affected (21.42%) with anaplasmosis than indigenous cattle (15.68%).…”

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.

“…Native breeds, normally used for draft power or meat production, dominate backyard farms while dairy animals are commonly imported breeds or crossbreeds. Native breeds of cattle and water buffaloes are usually more resistant against TBPs such as A. marginale [ 15 , 17 ]. In the current study, 97% of water buffaloes were Philippine carabao breed and 77% of cattle were Philippine native breed.…”

Tick-borne diseases (TBD) cause enormous losses for farmers. Backyard raising comprises majority of the livestock population in the Philippines, but TBD information in backyard livestock is scarce. In this study, 48 cattle and 114 water buffalo samples from Quezon province, Philippines were molecularly screened for tick-borne pathogens. Anaplasma marginale (16.67%) and hemoplasma (20.99%) were detected in the samples. A. marginale infection ( P =0.0001) was significantly higher in cattle, while hemoplasma infection ( P =0.011) was significantly higher in water buffaloes. A. marginale isolates from this study were highly similar to previous isolates from the Philippines while Mycoplasma wenyonii and Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos were the identified hemoplasma species. Our findings reveal additional information on the TBD situation of Philippine backyard livestock.

“…Use of Bos indicus cattle as a means of controlling cattle ticks and tick fever has been advocated since 1912, 4 but evidence on the relative susceptibility of B taurus and B indicus cattle to infection by A marginale is contradictory. In Australia, Wilson et al 5 and Otim et al 6 found no breed difference in susceptibility to A marginale although Parker et al 7 found B indicus cattle to be marginally more resistant to disease than B taurus. Others have produced indirect evidence from diagnostic records in Queensland to show that B indicus and crossbred cattle were less susceptible to anaplasmosis than B taurus cattle.…”
