The infection prevalence of Theileria annulata in ixodid ticks was 7.0%, highlighting a potential risk to cattle health.
A total of 3121 ixodid ticks were analyzed, comprising mainly of Hyalomma ticks, confirming their role as significant pathogens.
Partial sequencing of the cox1 gene validated the morphological identification and revealed the presence of Theileria annulata.
No Anaplasma spp. were found in the samples, underscoring the specific risk posed by Theileria in this region.
