Outline of Final Research Achievements

Tick-borne diseases are considered to be one of the most important factors affect the productivity of livestock in Africa, but the detailed epidemiological studies have not yet been done. In this study, we have carried out the epidemiological studies on ticks-borne diseases including babesiosis, theileriosis, and anaplasmosis in livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, etc.) from East Africa (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania), West Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso), North Africa (Egypt) and South-Africa. The results obtained are expected to be helpful for establishment of an effective control strategy for tick-borne diseases in Africa.
