bovine babesiosis
Bovine babesiosis is a disease caused by parasites known as Babesia, which infect red blood cells in cattle. These parasites are transmitted primarily by ticks, leading to symptoms such as fever, anemia, and weakness. The disease can significantly impact cattle health and productivity.
Control measures for bovine babesiosis include tick management and vaccination. Farmers often implement strategies to reduce tick populations and monitor cattle for signs of infection. Early detection and treatment are crucial to minimize losses and ensure the well-being of affected animals.
