Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) massively impact bovine production.In endemic countries, animals are often subclinically infected, showing no signs of the illness.Anemia is a hallmark of TBDs, but there is inadequate information on its presence g5210t-p90 in infected Thai cattle.In the present study, 265 cattle from four provinces in Thailand were surveyed to identify tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) and to evaluate the changes in the packed cell volume (PCV) values associated with detection.
Microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were also compared for TBP detection.Babesia/Theileria/Hepatozoon was detected in 33.58% (89/265) of the cattle samples.Specifically, Babesia bovis (9/265), B.
bigemina (12/265), Theileria orientalis (62/265), and Anaplasma marginale (50/265) were identified using species-specific assays.Significant decreases in the mean PCV levels were observed in cattle that were positive for at least one TBP (p Babesia/Theileria/Hepatozoon (p T.orientalis (p custom congratulations banner A.marginale (p = 0.
049).The results of PCR and microscopy for the detection of TBPs suggested slight and fair agreement between the two detection tools.The present findings contribute to a better understanding of TBDs in the field and shall facilitate the formulation of effective control for TBDs in Thailand.
