Summary: Hemoparasite infections are a substantial challenge to agriculture, worldwide. Infected cattle suffer malnutrition, stunting, decreased milk production, and reproductive loss, which can result in great economic loss. The aim of this study was to characterize the predominant hemoparasites affecting cattle in Nicaragua, whose economy is largely dependent on agriculture, and define associated epidemiological factors. Blood from 68 bovines in the municipality of León were analyzed by microscopy and molecular techniques. PCR revealed Anaplasma marginale in 33.82% (IC 95%: 21.84-45.80), 19.11% (IC 95%: 9.03-29.19) of animals were infected with Babesia spp, and 8.82% (95% CI: 1.34-16.30) were simultaneously co-infected with Babesia spp and A. marginale. However, A. phagocytophilum, Leishmania spp., or Trypanosoma spp were not detected (0%, 95% CI: 0.0-5.20). A. marginale was more frequently detected in males (p=0.041) and calves (p=0.041). This is the first study to report the prevalence of hemoparasites in cattle using molecular diagnosis in western Nicaragua.

O objetivo deste estudo foi detectar os principais hemoparasitas em bovinos no município de León, Nicarágua, e os fatores epidemiológicos associados à sua presença. Foram coletadas 68 amostras de sangue bovino em EDTA e realizada PCR a partir de uma amostra conglomerada selecionada para representar os bovinos do município de León. A análise de PCR revelou que 33,82% (IC 95%: 21,84-45,80) dos animais foram positivos para A. marginale, 19,11% (IC 95%: 9.03-29,19) dos animais estavam infectados com Babesia spp, 8,82% (95% de IC: 1,34-16,30) estavam infectados com Babesia spp. e A. marginale, no entanto, nenhum animal foi considerado positivo para A. phagocytophilum, Leishmania spp. ou Trypanosoma spp (0%, IC 95%: 0,0-5,20). A. marginale foi detectada com maior frequência em machos (p=0,041) e bezerros (p=0,041). Este é o primeiro estudo que relata a prevalência de hemoparasitas em bovinos, aplicando diagnóstico molecular no oeste da Nicarágua.Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina2024-10-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/article/view/2489410.5965/223811712332024537Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias; Vol. 23 No. 3 (2024); 537-543Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias; v. 23 n. 3 (2024); 537-5432238-1171reponame:Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)instacron:UDESCenghttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/article/view/24894/17612Copyright (c) 2024 Authors & Revista de Ciências Agroveterináriasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFlores, ByronSheleby-Elías, JessicaMora-Sánchez, BrendaDávila, XavieraDíaz, Ariel Jirón, William2024-11-28T13:09:44Zoai::article/24894Revistahttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/PUBhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/oairca.cav@udesc.br | portal.periodicos@udesc.brhttps://doi.org/10.5965/223811712238-11711676-9732opendoar:2024-11-28T13:09:44Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias (Online) - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)false
