Identification des paraistes de sang chez les cas Asymptomatiques chez les ruminatans

Abstract

This study focuses on asymptomatic bovine hemoparasitoses in the region of Sétif (Algeria). Its main objective is to assess the prevalence of Babesia, Theileria, and Anaplasma infections in apparently healthy cattle. A total of 80 blood samples were collected and analyzed using Giemsa-stained blood smears. The results revealed a clear predominance of single infections over co-infections. Significant differences in leukocyte counts were observed between infected and non-infected subjects. Identifying these pathogens is essential to improve veterinary care and reduce economic losses in cattle farming. This research also contributes to addressing the lack of local data on the silent spread of hemoparasites in Algeria. These findings highlight the epidemiological importance of subclinical cases and emphasize the need to improve screening and monitoring strategies
