  Cytauxzoonosis is an emerging infectious disease that affects feral as well as domestic cats. This disease is caused by apicomplexan protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Cytauxzoon. Evaluation of oxidative stress indicators can clarify the adverse effects of Cytauxzoon¬ felis parasite on domestic cats. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of C. ¬felis parasite in cats of Shahrekord, Iran and to evaluate oxidative stress indicators in cats infected with C. ¬felis and compare it with healthy cats. This experimental study was conducted on blood samples of 100 cats that were referred to Shahrekord Veterinary Laboratory. Blood samples were taken in two separate test tubes for molecular analysis and determination of antioxidant parameters including catalase and lipid peroxidation. After collecting the samples, the PCR test was performed and oxidative stress markers were measured. The results of the present study showed that 3% of examined cats were infected with C. ¬felis, and the level of catalase enzyme in the cats infected with C. ¬felis was reduced by 9% compared to the healthy group, which was statistically significant (p=0.004). Moreover, lipid peroxidation level was significantly increased in cats infected with C.¬ felis compared to the parasite-free group (p=0.021). The findings of the present study showed that the prevalence of C.¬ felis parasite in cats was 3%. A decrease in the level of catalase enzyme and an increase in lipid peroxidation were observed in cats infected with C.¬ felis compared to cats free of the parasite. Manuscript profile

  Considering that camel breeding is widespread in extensive parts of Iran and camels are important in transmission of some zoonotic disease to other ruminant and even humans, the necessity of conducting this study was assumed. In this research, apart from the rate of infection to blood parasites in camels of Zabol, the relationship between infection and some other factors including age, sex and geographical location of camel breeding were also studied. For this purpose, 113 blood samples of camels were taken from different regions of Zabol and transferred to the parasitology laboratory. The results indicated that 30.09% of studied camels were infected by blood parasites with the greatest infection rate of 19.47% belonging Trypanosoma evansi and then infection rates of 6.20% by Theileria sp., 3.54% by bacteria sp. and 88% by blood microfilaria were also observed. Statistical analysis did not show significant relationship between infection to blood parasites and age and sex of the studied camels. With regard to presence of blood parasites in the camels of the region and the importance of arthropods in their transmission, apart from treatment of infected animals, arthropod control measures should also be conducted in other to control these infections.      Manuscript profile

  Protozoan parasites of pyroplasma are the important pathogens of domestic animals and wildlife. These organisms, due to the illness and death of domestic animals, and the importance of the transfer of some of its genus and species to humans, cause many economic and health damages around the world it turns out. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of parasites on 210 cows with suspected jaundice in spring and summer of 1395-96 in Savadkouh city. After the clinical examination and observation of clinical signs such as fever, enlargement of the lymph nodes, pallor or jaundice of the animals, suspected jaundice were considered, and blood dilatation from the vein was made to examine the parasites. The blood plate was extracted with 96-degree methanol and stained with Giemsa colored lab and examined by optical microscope. The results of this study showed that 10.47% of the tested cows were infected with Theileria and 6.67% infected with Babesia and 1.9% infected with Anaplasma. In this study, 2 cases (0.9%) of Theileria and Anaplasma and 8 cases (81.3%) were associated with Theileria and Babesia infection. Therefore, in view of the presence of blood parasites in the region of the cows and the importance of arthropods in their transmission, it is possible to combat these arthropods in order to control the above-mentioned contaminations, in addition to treating suspected contaminated animals.

  Protozoan parasites of pyroplasma are the important pathogens of domestic animals and wildlife. Babesia and Theileria are among the parasites that have a global release that is being transmitted by the hard-core ticks of the Ixodidae family. These diseases have the potential to cause significant economic losses to livestock. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of blood parasites in Torbat Jam city sheep during 1394. For this purpose, 500 sheep were randomly assigned to a blood sample of 350 heads of female and 150 male. The blood samples taken were evaluated after the preparation of Giemsa spread and staining. The results of this study showed that 17.3% of the sheep were infected with Theileria and 71.5% of the infected samples were Babesia and 11.2% of the infected Anaplasma. It has been shown that contamination of parasites is subclinical and carriers, and since livestock breeding is prevalent in this city, the relevant authorities need to be more sensitive and sensitive to the prevention and prevention of these diseases and ticks.

    Breeding of horses and equines for different purposes has always been done in Iran and other parts of the world. Golestan province, especially Gonbad Kavos city, is one of the hubs of horse breeding in Iran. One of the biggest problems of keeping animals is infection with all kinds of parasitic diseases.  The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of external and blood parasites of horses and its risk factors in Gonbad Kavus city. This study was carried out cross-sectionally for 6 months on 128 horses with symptoms of external and blood parasites in different areas of Gonbad Cavus was done.  First, the entire body of the animal was examined macroscopically, and after all of them, a blood sample was prepared. The results of the study showed that 100 samples (78.12%) were infected with pirplasmosis blood parasite and there was no other type of blood parasite infection.  generally, the results of the present study showed that the contamination with blood parasites in Kavus Dome is high and worrying and has no relation to age and gender. The level of external parasites shows the high health of horses in the region. Manuscript profile
