Economic and Health Impact of the Ticks in Production Animals

TL;DR: What are the economic and health impacts of ticks on the main production animals and the costs associated to the treatment and control?
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology and genetic diversity of Anaplasma ovis in goats in Corsica, France.

TL;DR: An extensive survey to determine the prevalence and geographical distribution of A. ovis infections in goats and ticks as well as possible relationships with anaemia and other health indicators showed a relatively high genetic diversity of the pathogen associated with high bacterial prevalence in goats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular investigation and phylogeny of Anaplasmataceae species infecting domestic animals and ticks in Corsica, France

TL;DR: This study is the first epidemiological survey on Anaplasmataceae species infecting animals and ticks in Corsica and contributes toward the identification of current Anapl as well as potentially new species circulating in CorsICA.
Journal ArticleDOI

First molecular identification and genetic characterization of Anaplasma ovis in sheep from Tunisia

TL;DR: The results indicate the presence of A. ovis at a high rate; hence, the need for a survey into the medical and economic impact of the disease, and the identification of vectors of this bacterium in Tunisia must be made.

Infectious diseases of livestock

TL;DR: This second edition of this book has significantly expanded contents that include the majority of the infectious diseases of livestock that occur world-wide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous detection of bovine Theileria and Babesia species by reverse line blot hybridization.

TL;DR: The RLB is a versatile technique for simultaneous detection of all bovine tick-borne protozoan parasites and recommend its use for integrated epidemiological monitoring oftick-borne disease, since RLB can also be used for screening ticks and can easily be expanded to include additional hemoparasite species.

Human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in the upper Midwest United States. A new species emerging

TL;DR: All 12 patients have been infected with a granulocytic Ehrlichia species, reflecting a recently described new disease entity, and early detection and treatment with tetracycline drugs appear to offer the best chance for complete recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Babesia--a historical overview.

TL;DR: The classical differences with the main other genus of non-pigment-forming hemoparasites, Theileria, are the absence of extra-erythrocytic multiplication (schizogony) in Babesia and the cycle in the vector tick, which includes transovarial transmission in babesia but only transstadial transmission in TheILeria.
