“…Prevalence of Theileria annulata in cattle has also been reported from different countries around the globe. Prevalence of Theileria annulata in cattle has been reported to be 83% in Kazakhstan [ 24 ], 39% in Sudan [ 25 ], 25.4% in Algeria [ 26 ], 23.3% in India [ 27 ], 18.2% in Northwest China [ 28 ], 16.5% in Egypt [ 29 ] and 1.9% in Saudi Arabia [ 30 ]. These differences in Theileria annulata infection rates are due to variations in tick control programs, habitat suitability for ticks, farm management, husbandry practices and abiotic factors of sampling sites [ 23 ].…”

Theileria annulata (T. annulata) and Anaplasma marginale (A. marginale) are among the most extensively reported tick borne pathogens and are associated with huge economic losses worldwide. A total of 298 cattle blood samples were screened to report the presence of these two pathogens. The samples were collected from apparently healthy cattle (Achai, n = 155, Jersy, n = 88 and crossbred, n = 55) in Bajaur district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) during June and July of 2022. A total of 31 out of 298 cattle (10.4%) were found infected with T. annulata as PCR amplified a 156 base pair fragment from Tams-1 gene of T. annulata from their blood. While 16/298 animals (5.4%) were found infected with A. marginale as they amplified a 382 base pair fragment specific for msp5 gene of this bacterium. Three animals (1%) were found co infected. Cattle susceptibility to T. annulata infection was significantly higher than A. marginale infection (P < 0.001). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Pakistani isolates of both detected pathogen clustered together and were closely related isolates from worldwide countries. Prevalence of T. annulata varied significantly among the sampling sites (P = 0.05) while no such association was observed for A. marginale among the tested cattle. Epidemiological data analysis revealed that none of the studied risk factors was found associated either with the prevalence of T. annulata or A. marginale (P > 0.05) among enrolled cattle. In conclusion, our study has revealed a relatively higher prevalence of T. annulata than A. marginale in cattle from the Bajaur district in KPK. This information is important for improving the productivity of the livestock sector, which is one of the main sources of income in the country. It is recommended that this data be taken into account for the development and implementation of effective tick control programs, as well as for the improvement of livestock management practices to prevent and manage TBDs in Pakistan.

“…Collected ticks (n = 15) were evaluated for Theileria annulate (enolase gene) and Babesia spp. (18 S ribosomal RNA gene) via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using the primers and protocol described by Kuibagarov et al (2023) and Hilpertshauser et al (2006) . The remaining collected ticks (n = 2) were added to the Kazakh Scientific Research Institute's collection and were, therefore, not evaluated via PCR.…”

“…This could be a similar scenario between some HIV patients showing the highest prevalence of tick-borne pathogens [ 3 ]. These multiple, unrelated and complex infections are putting pressure on medical practitioners and veterinarians to successfully treat them, while co-infections between tick-borne pathogens, possibly transmitted by the same tick species, are creating a public-health problem to tackle [ 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”
