| Abstract | ||||
| The current study intended to evaluate the involvement of ticks and mosquitos in Babesia and Theileria transmission. A total of 520 ticks and 280 mosquitoes were collected and pooled (80 pools) from 6 localities in Menofia between May 2019 and May 2021. Ticks and mosquitoes pools were molecularly examined using universal GF2/GR2 Babesia/Theileria primers,PCR revealed thatout of 80 pools19 (23.7%) were positive for piroplasms.One positive pool was subjected to sequencing,the results of the sequence analysis revealed Babesia bovis. Risk factor analysis revealed that animal-keeping togethered has a significant effect onpiroplasms transmission, on the other hand breed, sex, age of animals, season and location have no significant effect on piroplasms transmission. The prevalence of piroplasms infection in animal-keeping togethered was (15time) higher than individual animals, higher in summer season (25.7%) than winter season (10%), higher in animals >3 year (26.3%) compared to the other age groups, in female was (1.6 time) higher than in male, and higher (1.4 times) in imported breeds than native breeds. | ||||
