Abstract
While clinically evaluating the anemic symptoms observed in twelve cattle in a highaltitude cattle ranching system in the Venezuelan Andes, with a suspected infection of the hemotropics A. marginale and Babesia spp. , the article presents the findings obtained through direct microbiological assay. A mixed association of A. marginale and Babesia spp. was obtained in 8.8%, and the individual presentation of A. marginale was found in 3.3%. The estimation of parasitemia revealed the need for treatment in five animals. In addition, the hematological status of the studied animals was evaluated, which evidenced that 50% of the animals had hematocrit values under the minimum reference and 41.7% presented with varying degrees of anisocytosis, with a predominance of microcytes. The study confirmed the probabilistic suspicion, and evidenced the importance of parasitemia estimation, hematological assessment, and post-treatment followup for animal well-being.
期刊介绍:
The Revue de Médecine Vétérinaire publishes four kinds of text:
1) Scientific reviews on subjects related to veterinary and comparative medicine. Suggested length: 10 to 30 typed pages.
2) Original reports on fundamental or applied research. Suggested length: 10 to 15 typed pages.
3) Continuous education articles, that should be easily understandable by non-specialists. Suggested length: 10 to 15 typed pages.
4) Clinical reports. Suggested length: 5 to 15 typed pages.
The publication can be done in French language or English language.
For an article written in English by not english native speakers authors, the manuscript must be subjected by attesting that it was read again by an anglophone scientist or a scientific translator.
The authors must certify that the manuscript was not published or subjected for publication to another review.
The manuscript must be accompanied by a sheet signed by all the joint authors indicating their agreement for the tender of the manuscript.
The publication is free but a financial participation could be required for the photographs color. An estimate will be sent to collect the agreement of the authors.
