Abstract
In Egypt, Parasitic blood diseases (Babesiosis & Theileriosis) in cows and buffaloes have been reported as one of the major causes of serious economic losses, and the occurrence of these diseases in cows and buffaloes is considered by many workers as one of the most dangerous diseases which affect the animal industry. The problem becomes more serious and more complicated if the animals were suffering from bacteriological infections in addition to parasitic blood diseases.
The present study was carried out to investigate the bacteriological infections that may accompany parasitic blood diseases.
Examination of blood smears stained with Gimsa stain of 60 cases (41 cows and 19 buffaloes) suffering from parasitic blood diseases (Babesiosis & Theileriosis) revealed that 28 cows & 11 buffaloes were suffering from Babesiosis, while 13 cows & 8 buffaloes were suffering from Theileriosis.
Animals suffering from Babesiosis were found to be infected with mastitis with percentage of 15.38%, endometritis and cervicitis with percentage of 17.94% and other pyogenic infections with percentage of 66.6%.
Animals suffering from Theileriosis were found to be infected with mastitis with percentage of 19.04%, endometritis and cervicitis with percentage of 28.57% and other pyogenic infections with percentage of 52.3 8%.
