Abstract

This study aimed to detect Theileria annulata infection using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification in Hyalomma asiaticum ticks. Sequence analysis showed that the 28 analyzed sequences obtained from 81 H. asiaticum ticks had an identical length and sequence which were closely related to that of T. annulata. This study is the first to report on the presence of T. annulata in H. asiaticum ticks in China.

Keywords: Cattle; Hyalomma asiaticum; PCR; Theileria annulata; Tick vector; Tropical theileriosis.
