Abstract

backgrounds: In Algeria, data on the epidemiology of theileriosis in small ruminants are limited.
Objectives: The current study aimes to investigate on the seroprevalence of Theileria spp. in goats from M’sila region, central of Algeria.
Methods: Blood samples of 128 goats from 19 farms were collected from the locality of Maâdid. The indirect fluorescence antibody test (IFAT) was performed to test the sera of goats for antibodies against Theileria ovis and Theileria lestoquardi.
Results: Out of 128 tested samples, 21 sera (16.40%) were positive for T. ovis antibodies. All samples were seronegative for T. lestoquardi. The seroprevalence of T. ovis varied from 10% to 30% in the farms. Regarding to the studied risk factors; Seropositivity rates did not vary significantly with age, sex, or breeding system of goats. Tick infested goats were significantly more seropositive than no infested goats.
Conclusions: The present study reports important data on the epidemiology of caprine theileriosis in central of Algeria.
