Epidemiology, Clinical Signs, and Risk Factors Associated with Theileriosis in Australian Cattle (2006-2022).

ABSTRACT: For over a decade, bovine anaemia caused by Theileria orientalis Ikeda has been a significant disease in the Australian cattle industry. In this study, we conducted a spatial and temporal analysis of theileriosis in Australia using historic data from submissions to the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) from 2006 to 2022, where herd history, clinical signs, and PCR results were available. Since the first detections of bovine theileriosis in the Sydney area in 2006, the disease spread north- and southward and is now endemic to the southeast coast of Australia, closely mirroring the distribution of the principal vector Haemaphysalis longicornis. Across all years, the prevalence of the Ikeda genotype was 88%, while the prevalence of the benign Chitose and
