The purpose of this work was to study ticks collected in different regions of Kazakhstan for the carriage of various pathogens. The collected ticks were examined by PCR for the carriage of various pathogens. A total of 3341 tick samples parasitizing three animal species (cattle, sheep and horses) were collected at eight regions of Kazakhstan. Eight tick species were found infesting animals: Dermacentor marginatus (28.08%), Hyalomma asiaticum (21.28%), Hyalomma anatolicum (17.18%), Dermacentor reticulatus (2.01%), Ixodes ricinus (3.35%), Ixodes persulcatus (0.33%), Hyalomma scupense (12.87%) and Hyalomma marginatum (14.90%). Ticks collected from livestock animals were examined for the pathogen spectrum of transmissible infections to determine the degree of their infection. Four pathogen DNAs (lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), Coxiella burnetti, Teileria annulata, and Babesia caballi) were detected by PCR in Dermacentor marginatus, Hyalomma asiaticum, Hyalomma scupense, Hyalomma anatolicum. The infection of ticks Dermacentor marginatus and Hyalomma asiaticum collected on cattle in the West Kazakhstan region with LSDV was 14.28% and 5.71%, respectively. Coxiella burnetti was found in the ticks Dermacentor marginatus (31.91%) in the Turkestan region and Hyalomma anatolicum (52.63%) in the Zhambyl region. Theileria annulata was found in ticks Hyalomma scupense (7.32%) and Dermacentor marginatus (6.10%) from cattle in the Turkestan region. Babesia caballi was isolated only from the species Hyalomma scupense (17.14%) in the Turkestan region. There were no PCR-positive tick samples collected from sheep. RNA\/DNAs of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), African swine fever virus (ASFV), Hantavirus hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and chlamydia pathogens were not found in ticks. The new data give a better understanding of the epidemiology of tick-borne pathogens and the possibility of the emergence of tick-borne animal diseases in Kazakhstan.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens11101206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]],"date-time":"2022-10-19T22:19:53Z","timestamp":1666217993000},"page":"1206","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["The Prevalence of Pathogens among Ticks Collected from Livestock in Kazakhstan"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Kulyaisan T.","family":"Sultankulova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gaukhar O.","family":"Shynybekova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5623-7571","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aisha U.","family":"Issabek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nazym N.","family":"Mukhami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aibarys M.","family":"Melisbek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7954-6246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga V.","family":"Chervyakova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6299-9399","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nurlan S.","family":"Kozhabergenov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6193-5390","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabyrkhan M.","family":"Barmak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LLP \u201cKazakh Research Institute of Processing and Food Industry\u201d, Almaty 050060, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arailym K.","family":"Bopi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zamira D.","family":"Omarova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dana A.","family":"Alibekova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5656-0678","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takhmina U.","family":"Argimbayeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute for Biological Safety Problems of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Gvardeiskiy 080409, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aidar M.","family":"Namet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MVA Group Scientific-Research Production Center Ltd., Almaty 050046, Kazakhstan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0839-0085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ivan A.","family":"Zuban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department \u201cBiology\u201d, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, M.
