East Coast Fever
East Coast fever, also known as theileriosis, is a disease of cattle which occurs in Africa and is caused by the protozoan parasite ''Theileria parva''. The primary vector which spreads ''T. parva'' between cattle is a tick, ''Rhipicephalus appendiculatus''. East Coast fever is of major economic importance to livestock farmers in Africa, killing at least one million cattle each year. The disease occurs in Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia. In 2003, East Coast fever was introduced to Comoros by cattle imported from Tanzania. It has been eradicated in South Africa. A more acute form of East Coast fever called corridor disease occurs when buffalo-derived ''T. parva'' is transmitted to cattle. Another form, called January disease, only occurs over the winter months in Zimbabwe due to the tick lifecycle. Native cattle are often resistant to the parasite, but not without symptoms. They are host ...

Human Theileriosis
Humans (''Homo sapiens'') are the most abundant and widespread species of primate, characterized by bipedalism and exceptional cognitive skills due to a large and complex brain. This has enabled the development of advanced tools, culture, and language. Humans are highly social and tend to live in complex social structures composed of many cooperating and competing groups, from families and kinship networks to political states. Social interactions between humans have established a wide variety of values, social norms, and rituals, which bolster human society. Its intelligence and its desire to understand and influence the environment and to explain and manipulate phenomena have motivated humanity's development of science, philosophy, mythology, religion, and other fields of study. Although some scientists equate the term ''humans'' with all members of the genus ''Homo'', in common usage, it generally refers to ''Homo sapiens'', the only extant member. Anatomically modern ...

Theileria Microti
Babesia microti is a parasitic blood-borne piroplasm transmitted by Ixodes scapularis, deer ticks. ''B. microti'' is responsible for the disease babesiosis, a malaria-like disease which also causes fever and hemolysis. Life cycle The life cycle of ''B. microti'' includes human red blood cells and is an important transfusion-transmitted infectious organism. Between 2010 and 2014 it caused four out of fifteen (27%) fatalities associated with transfusion-transmitted microbial infections reported to the Food and Drug Administration, US FDA (the highest of any single organism). In 2018, the Food and Drug Administration, FDA approved an antibody-based screening test for blood and organ donors. An important difference from malaria is that ''B. microti'' does not infect liver cells. Additionally, the piroplasm is spread by tick bites (''Ixodes scapularis'', the same tick that spreads Lyme disease), while the malaria protozoans are spread via mosquito. Finally, under the microscope, ...

Tropical Theileriosis
Tropical theileriosis or Mediterranean theileriosis is a theileriosis of cattle from the Mediterranean and Middle East area, from Morocco to Western parts of India and China. It is a tick-borne disease, caused by ''Theileria annulata''. The vectors are ticks of the genera '' Hyalomma'' and ''Rhipicephalus''. The most prominent symptoms are fever and lymph node enlargement. But there is a wide range of clinical manifestations, especially in enzootic areas. Among them, the Doukkala area of Morocco, where the epidemiology and symptomatology of the disease were minutely studied. AGRIS iFR2002001447 The disease was once considered as "benign" in the literature, in comparison to East Coast fever. With the introduction of European breeds into the region, however, it could become of major economic incidence.With mortalities up to 50 to 80 percent in the 1980sL. Mahin. An efficient treatment with parvaquone, then buparvaquone became available in many countries from the mid-1990s. Ani ...
