Molecular Detection and Genetic Diversity of Tick-Borne Pathogens in Goats from the Southern Part of Thailand.

ABSTRACT: Tick-borne hemoprotozoan and rickettsial diseases affect the health and productivity of small ruminants in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite the large population of goats in the southern part of Thailand, there is limited information on the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens. In this study, polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the presence of Theileria spp., T. ovis, T. orientalis, Babesia ovis, Anaplasma ovis, and A. marginale in 262 goats from three provinces in the southern part of Thailand. In this investigation, Theileria spp. and A. ovis were detected while T. ovis, B. ovis, and A. marginale were not detected. Overall infection rates of Theileria spp. and A. ovis were 10.3% and
