Abstract
Sheep rearing plays an important role in the livelihood of poor farmers and
landless labourers in rural parts of India. With an ever increasing demand for animal
protein, sheep rearing has gained momentum in the recent years. However,
occurrence of tick borne haemoprotozoan diseases has a major impact on small
ruminant production in tropical and subtropical countries. Hence, the present study
was undertaken to determine the prevalence of haemoprotozoan parasites in sheep
by PCR technique in three different agro-climatic zones of Tamil Nadu and to identify
the tick species involved in the transmission of haemoprotozoan parasites such as
Theileria Iestoquardi, Theileria ovis, Babesia ovis and Anaplasma ovis in sheep.
