Abstract :

Babesiosis is a protozoal tick-borne disease caused by Babesia species characterised by high fever, anaemia, haemoglobinemia and haemoglobinuria. Animals kept on katcha floor, closed housing system and tethering system are more prone to Babesiosis. It is mainly diagnosed through thin and thick blood smears and PCR. Diminazene aceturate and imidocarb dipropionate are most commonly used drugs against Babesiosis. In vectors control the various phytopharmacueticals with acaricidal and larvicidal properties are Azadirachta indica (Neem Tree), Gynandropsis gynandra (Spiderwisp), Lavandula angustifolia (English Lavender), Pelargonium Roseum (Rose-scent geranium), and Cymbopogon (Lemon Grass) species.
