| dc.description | Tropical, agro-based Bangladesh has 47.51 million livestock population of
which 22.87 million are cattle (BBS, 2008). Livestock, the backbone of
Bangladesh’s agricultural economy is at risk of decline in production due to
number of ecto and endo-parasites. Bangladesh is usually hot and humid
except in winter and the climatic condition of Bangladesh is very conducive
to a wide variety of parasites as well as ticks (Razzak and Shaikh, 1969). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Prevalence of ticks and tick borne infections in cattle was studied at Dinajpur Sadar
area and the duration of the study was one year from January-December in 2011. A
total of 240 cattle were examined for tick infestation. Among these animal, 119
(48.75%) cattle were found positive to tick infestation and 119 tick infested cattle
were examined for tick borne infections. The effect of breed, season and sex was
observed in cattle during the study. Clinical features of the tick borne infection in
cattle were also examined. Distant and close inspection was done to locate tick in the
animal body. Blood samples were taken from the tick infested cattle. Samples were
examined by Giemsa's stained blood smear method. The highest tick infestation was
found in the summer season (77.5%). Female cattle were more susceptible to tick
infestation than male. Indigenous cattle (51.02%) were more prone to tick infestation
than cross breed. The highest tick load found in the animal body was in ear, udder and
perineal region. The overall prevalence of tick borne diseases was 70.58% where
theileriosis (35.29%) and anaplasmosis (30.25%) were predominant. Tick-borne
diseases were predominant in summer season followed by rainy and winter seasons.
Female animals (77.45%) were more susceptible to tick borne infections than male
(29.41%). Cross breed cattle (77.55%) were more prone to tick borne infections than
indigenous cattle (38.09%). From the present study, it could be stated that breed and
season were the important predictor of tick borne diseases. The major clinical signs
were fever (up to 41°C), anemia, anorexia, depression, weakness, cessation of
rumination, hemoglobinuria and an increase in respiratory and heart rate. | en_US |
