The current study was done to determine the incidence of babesiosis among domestic cattle in Sindh, in light of the relevance of tick-borne diseases in the livestock industry. Over the course of a year, n=1500 blood samples were taken from clinically questionable animals. A microscope was used to analyses all of the blood samples. Babesiosis was found to be prevalent in 51.47% of the population. B. boves had a much higher prevalence 32.8% than B. bigemina 18.67%. Female cattle were more susceptible to both B. boves and B. bigemina than male cattle. Both B. boves 38.57% and B. bigemina 23.57% were found to be very positive in cattle under the age of two years. Similarly, during the summer season, the rate of positive for both B. boves 51.33% and B. bigemina 31.3% was observed to be high. Tick and disease prevalence in a certain area, as well as the season, are contributing variables in Babesia diagnosis, particularly in areas like Sindh, where modern testing is not available. Babesiosis can be treated with a variety of different medications. Antiprotozoal medicines such as imidocarb dipropionate and diminazine aceturate are commonly used in conjunction with antibiotics such as Doxycycline and Enrofloxacin. Another option is Metronidazole. The combination of atovaquone and azithromycin has been shown to be effective against Babesia gibsoni, but Asian genotypes of B. gibsoni are thought to be resistant. No medicine exists that can entirely eradicate the infectious pathogen.
