Abstract :
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.
