“…Theileria lestoquardi and Babesia ovis were not detected by RLB, but the distribution of transmitting ticks suggested the possibility of the presence of these two pathogens in Kurdistan Region (Hoogstraal and Kaiser, 1958;Robson et al, 1968;Hooshmand-Rad and Hawa, 1973;Friedhoff, 1997). Indeed, the possible occurrence of T. lestoquardi and Babesia ovis in this part of the country was suggested by many authors (Khayyat and Gilder, 1947; Hooshmand-Rad More importantly, coinfection of sheep with piroplasms and Anaplasma could be confirmed in this study.…”

Summary Infections of small ruminants with Anaplasma, Theileria and Babesia species are widely distributed in the old world and are of great economic impact. In Iraq, data on disease occurrence in sheep caused by above‐mentioned infectious agents are scarce. This study provides information on various haemoparasitic agents infecting sheep in the Kurdistan Region, Iraq, using molecular diagnostic tools. Altogether, 195 samples originating from three governorates in the Kurdistan Region, namely Duhok, Erbil and Sulaimaniya, were analysed. The following pathogens were identified: Anaplasma ovis (62.6%), Theileria ovis (14.35%), T. lestoquardi (7.7%), T. uilenbergi (5.6%) and Babesia ovis (1.5%). T. uilenbergi is detected for the first time in Iraq. Coinfection of sheep with different pathogens could be observed in this study, and it was found that 45 of 195 (23%) of the samples contained more than one pathogen. Even triple‐positive samples were identified in 3% of the investigated animals. In conclusion, we confirm the coinfection of sheep with various haemoparasitic pathogen species in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Further investigations are needed to reveal the epidemiology of the diseases, the respective tick vectors, and, in the case of coinfection, pathogens′ interaction and possible cross‐protection.

“…Çevreşartlarında meydana gelen değişmeler, bu enfeksiyonların prevalans ve ensidenslerinde de değişikliklere yol açmaktadır. Doymuş R. bursa'ların açlara oranla vücut ağırlıklarının iki yüz katı kan emdikleri kayıtlıdır (2). Deney hayvanlarında beslediğimiz keneler üzerindeki hesabımıza göre, kan emen bazı kenelerin ağırlıkları ortalama 150 misli artmıştır.…”

“…Hard ticks include many genera such as Hyalomma, Rhipicephalus, Boophilus, Ambylomma, Ixodes, and Haemaphysalis (Mohammed, 1996). Several studies have been conducted in various provinces of Iraq on the prevalence, distribution, and classification of hard ticks on domestic animals, including a study carried out by (Robson et al, 1968) in the city of Mosul.…”

The present study included the diagnosis of three species of hard ticks belong to the family Ixodidae parasitizing 72 cows out of a total of 145 cows examined, with a total distribution ratio of 49.6% in the eastern and western regions of Mosul city. Tick species were diagnosed according to morphological and standard characteristics such as palps, capitulum, coxa, scutum, anus, and spiracles. Ticks of H. anatolicum anatolicum recorded the highest prevalence and distribution ratio in cows of 48.6%, followed by both B. annulatus and R. turanicus with 34.7%, 16.7% respectively. As for specifying the patterns of ticks’ distribution on cows, it was observed that a pattern of single infestation recorded the highest distribution ratio of 51%, followed by a double-infestation of 19.4%, while a mixed infestation pattern recorded the lowest ratio of 9.7%. With regard to the distribution of tick species on the body areas per tick species, the results showed the prevalence and distribution of H. anatolicum anatolicum tick species on the back was 44.1%, B. anaulatus recorded the highest prevalence ratio of 29% in the ear, while R. truanicus recorded the highest prevalence in the ear, back, and Axillary of 37.1%, 28.5%, and 20% respectively. The results concerning the distribution of tick species in each area of the body showed the prevalence of H. anatolicum anatolicum in the ear area by 51.1%, both H. anatolicum and anatolicum recorded the highest prevalence ratio in the tail by 51.6% and 43.6% respectively, and the highest prevalence of H. anatolicum and anatolicum species was found in the back by 72%, while the highest prevalence of B.annaulatus was found in the udder and Axillary of 57.9% and 56.4% respectively. Nevertheless, the results illustrated that no significant difference had been found regarding the distribution and prevalence of tick species in the eastern and western regions of the city of Mosul.
