Summary
The present study was designed to check prevalence of Babesiosis in cattle in District Swabi Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa, to determine its effect on the liver, kidney
function tests and to check the role of supportive therapy. For this purpose 100 suspected animals were selected. Out of 100 suspected animals only 10 were positive for Babesiosis on Giemsa staining. Study of serum biochemistry revealed that there was increase in level of SGPT, SGOT, total bilirubin, BUN and creatinine while the level of total protein and albumin were decreased. Administration of supportive therapy showed that the serum biochemical values of the animals administered with supportive therapy were come near to normal values as compared to the animals without supportive therapy. This study showed that Babesiosis damaged the kidney and liver and the use of supportive drugs along with specific drug is effective.
Key words: Cattle Babesiosis, biochemical indicator, supportive therapy
