N2  - Tick-borne parasitic diseases constrain animal productionthroughout the world, mostly in tropical and subtropicalregions. The topography, climate and pasture resources ofTurkey which has the characteristics of temperate and subtropicalclimates are suitable for animal agriculture, and arefavorable for the maintenance of the parasite-host-vectorrelationships in almost all regions of the country. The geographicsituation limits the regulations on animal movementsin the Eastern and Southeastern regions due to close contactwith the neighbor countries. Turkey has a strong foundationfor livestock resources. Approximately 30 percent of theagricultural gross domestic product is from livestock sector.Tick-borne parasitic diseases are endemic throughout thecountry, and have a great importance on economy and animalhealth, especially in ruminants. The major economicallyimportant tick-borne parasitic diseases of animals are theileriosisand babesiosis caused by protozoa, and anaplasmosiscaused by rickettsiae. The most widespread hemoparasiticagents are Theileria annulata, Anaplasma marginale, Babesiabigemina, B. ovis, B. equi and B. caballi. The control of thesediseases is mainly based on the treatment of sick animals andtick-control measurements. Vaccination is available for onlytropical theileriosis caused by T. annulata. In this work, wereviewed the articles published in the national and internationaljournals to collect the epidemiological data on the majortick-borne parasitic diseases of animals in Turkey.
