dc.description.abstractThe present investigation was aimed to study the clinical, haemato-biochemical and therapeutic aspect of haemoprotozoan and rickettsial diseases of cattle. The study was conducted on 918 cattle presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, Palampur from November 2017 to May 2019. On the basis of history, clinical signs and physical examination, 120 cattle were screened using parasitological techniques and among them, 39 cattle were found positive for either haemoprotozoan or rickettsial diseases and co-infections, thus representing an overall incidence of 4.25%. Out of 39 affected cattle, 29 (74.36%) suffered from single infection of haemoprotozoan diseases consisting of B. bigemina (n=6) and T. annulata (n=23), 7 (17.95%) suffered from rickettsial diseases all of which were of anaplasmosis and 3 (7.69%) suffered from co-infections of T. annulata and A. marginale. These diseases were more prevalent in humid seasons (53.85%, monsoon), in age group of 5-9 years (48.72%), in female cattle (79.48%) and in Jersey cross breds (43.59%). Major clinical signs observed were fever, anorexia, lymph node enlargement, pale & icteric mucous membranes and dehydration. Respiratory signs like nasal discharge, tachypnoea etc., ocular signs like ocular discharge, corneal opacity etc., coffee coloured urine, melena, incoordination in gait etc. were less commonly observed clinical signs. Haematology revealed macrocytic hypochromic anaemia. Biochemically, raised levels of ALT, ALP, AST, BUN, creatinine, total bilirubin along with hypoproteinemia and hyperglycemia were observed. Babesia affected cattle (n=6) were treated with Imidocarb dipropionate along with supportive therapy and recovery in 50.00% cattle was observed. Theileria affected cattle were randomly divided into 3 groups for treatment along with supportive therapy. Group I (n=8) were treated with Buparvaquone and recovery in 87.50% cattle was observed. Group II (n=8) were treated with Oxytetracycline and recovery in 75% cattle was observed. Group III (n=7) were treated with combination of Buparvaquone and Oxytetracycline and recovery in 100% cattle was observed. Anaplasma affected cattle (n=7) were treated with combination of Imidocarb and Oxytetracycline and recovery in 85.71% cattle was observed. Anaplasma and Theileria co-affected cattle (n=3) were treated with a combination of Buparvaquone and Oxytetracycline and recovery in two cattle was observed. It was concluded that combination of Buparvaquone and Oxytetracycline proved to be most efficacious in treating theileriosis and combination of Imidocarb with Oxytetracycline proved to be efficacious in treating Anaplasmosis.en_US
