Although ticks prevalent in various agro-systems of Pakistan are associated with economic losses, information is still missing about the tick’s diversity, hosts they infest, seasonal dynamic and molecular phylogeny Rhipicephalus microplus Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Pakistan. This study for first time enlisted infesting diverse including human regions KP. A total 8,641 were collected across north, south central KP morpho-taxonomically categorized into six genera comprising 18 species, R....
Theileria annulata is a tick-borne hemoprotozoan parasite responsible for tropical theileriosis in the bovine population, which causes substantial economic losses to livestock sector. The present study has investigated, characterized, and shaped epidemiologic phylogenetic profiles of T. infection cattle population central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A total 600 blood samples were collected from cattle. Microscopy PCR (18S rRNA taxonomic marker) assays performed detect area. overall...
Ticks and tick-borne diseases are considered a major challenge for human animal health in tropical, sub-tropical, temperate regions of the world. However, only scarce information is available on characterization tick species infesting dogs Pakistan. In this study, we present comprehensive report epidemiological phylogenetic aspects ticks Pakistan using mitochondrial markers i.e. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) nucleotide sequences. A total 300 were examined...
The present study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Theileria annulata in large ruminants from two districts, Peshawar and Kohat, Khyber Pukhtoon Khwa (Pakistan). Blood samples were collected 95 cattle. Data on characteristics animals herds through questionnaires. No significant risk factors found associated with spread tropical theileriosis area. Two different parasite detection techniques, PCR amplification screening Giemsa stained slides, compared it that is a more sensitive...
Abstract Background Vector-/tick-borne pathogens (V/TBPs) pose a potential threat to human and animal health globally. Information regarding canine V/TBPs is scarce no specific study has been conducted so far explore the microbial diversity within ticks infesting dogs from Pakistan. Herein, this knowledge gap addressed by assessing genetic prevalence pattern of in ixodid with special implications for public health. Methods A total 1150 hard were collected 300 across central Khyber...
Mapping tick distribution and pathogens in unexplored areas sheds light on their importance zoonotic veterinary contexts. In this study, we performed a comprehensive investigation of the genetic diversity tick-borne (TBPs) detection infesting/infecting small ruminants across northern Pakistan. We collected 1587 ixodid ticks from 600 goats sheep, an overall infestation rate 50.2 %. Notably, gender-based rates were higher female sheep compared to male counterparts. Age-wise analysis showed...
Mapping the distribution of ticks and tick-borne pathogens linked to their molecular information from previously unexplored geographic areas provide valuable about cryptic tick fauna associated zoonotic veterinary importance. The present research was designed investigate epidemiologic phylogenetic aspects infesting goats sheep in north north-western territories Pakistan. A total 1587 ixodid were collected goat herds (n = 600). taxonomically classified using morphological keys markers 16S...
