This aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of haemopathogens in cattle in Beni Hamidene locality, district of Constantine (Νortheastern Algeria). Between June and October 2014, 169 bovines from 25 farms were included in this survey, 32 (18.9%) among them were suspected of piroplasmosis and/or anaplasmosis. Infection prevalences were estimated by microscopic examination of Giemsa-stained blood smears and blood samples from all included cattle (n = 169). Animals were infected by Theileria annulata (65/169; 38.46%), Anaplasma marginale (22/169; 13%) and Babesia bovis (5/169; 3%). Two co-infection patterns were found: Theileria annulata/Anaplasma marginale (7.69%) and Theileria annulata/Babesia bovis (1.18%). Only one farm had no cattle infected by any of the haemopathogens. There was a signification difference of T. annulata infection prevalence according to age category (p =.04). These results emphasised mainly the presence of bovine tropical theileriosis in northeastern, Beni Hamidene locality, province of Constantine, Algeria.
本研究的目的是估计贝尼哈米德内地区(阿尔及利亚东北部君士坦丁区)牛的血液病原体的流行率。2014 年 6 月至 10 月期间,对来自 25 个农场的 169 头奶牛进行了此项调查,其中 32 头(18.9%)疑似患有梨形虫病和/或无形体病。通过对所有纳入的牛的 Giemsa 染色血涂片和血液样本进行显微镜检查来估计感染率(n=169)。受感染的动物包括环形泰勒虫(65/169;38.46%)、边缘无浆体(22/169;13%)和牛巴贝斯虫(5/169;3%)。发现了两种共感染模式:环形泰勒虫/边缘无浆体(7.69%)和环形泰勒虫/牛巴贝斯虫(1.18%)。只有一个农场的牛没有感染任何血液病原体。根据年龄类别,环形泰勒虫的感染率存在显著差异(p=0.04)。这些结果主要强调了在阿尔及利亚君士坦丁省贝尼哈米德内地区东北部存在牛热带泰勒虫病。
