Tick-borne Pathogens in Small Ruminants in Turkey: A Systematic Review
Abstract
Ticks and tick-borne diseases cause significant problems while raising livestock. Tick-borne diseases have increased in Turkey during recent years because Turkey has suitable climatic conditions and a large-variety animal population. Sheep and goat farming form a substantial part of the national economy. The main tick-transmitted pathogens in small ruminants in Turkey are Babesia ovis, B. motasi, B. crassa, Babesia sp., Theileria ovis, T. uilenbergi, T. luwenshuni, Theileria sp. MK, Theileria sp. OT1, Theileria sp. OT3, Anaplasma ovis, andA. phagocytophilum. The major tick-transmitted pathogens in sheep and goats in terms of geographic region, province, host, number of animals examined, sampling technique, sampling year, and diagnosis method are summarized chronologically in this review, and we present the current situation in Turkey.
