Abstract

A study was conducted to determine the prevalence of theileriosis in goats from southern districts of Karnataka. Out of 47 goat blood samples examined by microscopy, 68.08% (32/47) were positive for Theileria spp. The parasitemia ranged from 1.0 to 1.8 and 0.1–0.9% in clinical and carrier animals respectively. Out of 325 ticks collected from goats, 92.6 (301) and 7.38 (24)% of the ticks were found to be Haemaphysalis and Rhipicephalus respectively. Hemaphysalis kutchensis (90.15%) was found to be the predominant species followed by R. haemaphysaloides (6.7%), H. intermedia (1.84%), H. bispinosa (0.61%) and R. sanguineus (0.61%). The present study indicated that caprine theileriosis is an endemic disease in Karnataka and suggested that Haemaphysalis and Rhipicephalus ticks may play a role in transmission of the disease.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
