Theileria infection in domestic ruminants in northern Ethiopia
Original language description
Piroplasmosis caused by different tick-borne hemoprotozoan parasites of the genera Theile-ria and Babesia is among the most economically important infections of domestic ruminantsin sub-Saharan Africa. A survey for piroplasm infection was conducted in three locationsin Northern Ethiopia. Of 525 domestic ruminants surveyed, 80% of the cattle, 94% of thesheep and 2% of the goats were positive for different Theileria spp. based on PCR of bloodfollowed by DNA sequencing. Sheep had a significantly higher rate of infection comparedwith cattle (P < 0.0003) and both sheep and cattle had higher rates of infection comparedto goats (P < 0.0001). Four species of Theileria were detected in cattle: T. velifera, T. mutans,T. orientalis complex and T. annulata with infection rates of 66, 8, 4, and 2%, respectively.This is the first report of T. annulata, the cause of Tropical Theileriosis in Ethiopia. Of thetwo Theileria spp. detected in small ruminants, T. ovis was highly prevalent (92%) in sheepand
