What are the two diseases caused by blood parasites in cattle?
The diseases are babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Babesiosis is caused by a protozoan called Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina, and is transmitted mainly by the Boophylus microplus tick. Anaplasmosis is caused by a bacteria called Anaplasma marginale and is transmitted by several types of ticks and the pale fly, as well as surgical instruments and needles contaminated with infected blood.
