Tick-borne diseases are caused by a wide variety of viruses, pathogens, and diseases. , , and spp. are among the most known tick-borne pathogens in Asia. In the Philippines, these pathogens were already reportedly present in dogs and large ruminants, but no study has been reported yet evaluating their presence in goats.
The present study aimed to evaluate the presence of , , and spp. in goats in Cebu, the Philippines.
A total of 100 blood samples from goats were collected in Cebu, the Philippines. Profile of sampled goats including age, body score, and sex was obtained. Peripheral blood smear examination and DNA extraction were performed. Nested polymerase chain reaction assay was used to evaluate the presence of , , and spp.
None of the samples were found positive with , , and spp. infection.
Tested goats were negative with , and spp. and calls for continuous surveillance of these pathogens due to the reported detection of these pathogens in other livestock animals in the area.
蜱传疾病由多种病毒、病原体和疾病引起。在亚洲, 、 和 属是最知名的蜱传病原体。在菲律宾,据报道这些病原体已存在于犬类和大型反刍动物中,但尚未有研究评估它们在山羊中的存在情况。
本研究旨在评估菲律宾宿务山羊中 、 和 属的存在情况。
在菲律宾宿务共采集了100份山羊血样。获取了采样山羊的概况,包括年龄、体况评分和性别。进行了外周血涂片检查和DNA提取。采用巢式聚合酶链反应分析法评估 、 和 属的存在情况。
未发现任何样本感染 、 和 属呈阳性。
受试山羊 、 和 属检测为阴性,鉴于该地区其他家畜已报告检测到这些病原体,因此需要对这些病原体进行持续监测。
