A cross-sectional study was undertaken in the Dasenech and Salamago Districts of South Omo zone Ethiopia to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of babesia infection and ixodid ticks of cattle using Giemsa-stained thin and thick film techniques and morphological identification keys for babesia species and tick identification, respectively. Out of 470 examined cattle, 102 (21.7%) were infected by Babesiosis (15.53% <jats:italic>Babesia bigemina<\/jats:italic> and 6.17% <jats:italic>Babesia bovis<\/jats:italic>). A statistically significant association (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) was observed between babesia infection and season and tick infestation. However, cattle that were infected with the <jats:italic>Babesia<\/jats:italic> parasite revealed a lower mean PCV value (21.49%) than noninfected cattle (28.29%) and showed a statistically significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) difference with the occurrence of Babesia infection. The overall prevalence of ixodid ticks was 53.8% (253\/470) and revealed a statistically significant association (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) between the season and origin of the animal. However, no statistically significant association (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05) was observed between sex, age, and body condition score of the animal with the occurrence of ixodid tick. A total of 8040 adult ticks belonging to four tick genera, Amblyomma, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus), Hyalomma, and Rhipicephalus, were collected from various body parts and identified. The high prevalence of Babesia infection and ixodid ticks in cattle at the study sites requires seroprevalence and molecular studies to identify the predominant Babesia species and to detect Babesia in tick hemolymph for the identification of tick genera responsible for the occurrence of Babesia infection. Additionally, tailoring suitable and coordinated tick management methods using chemotherapy as well as strategic treatment to overt clinical cases of bovine babesiosis is critical.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-022-10416-4","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,16]],"date-time":"2022-04-16T13:03:43Z","timestamp":1650114223000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Babesiosis in cattle and ixodid tick distribution in Dasenech and Salamago Districts, southern Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Haben","family":"Fesseha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mesfin","family":"Mathewos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eyob","family":"Eshetu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bereket","family":"Tefera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"10416_CR1","unstructured":"Central Statistical Agency.
