摘要： Theileriosis is a disease of domesticated animals in tropical and subtropical countries and causes significant reductions in livestock productivity. The arid region of Punjab in Pakistan is notorious for the presence of the vector tick (Acari: Ixodidae) and tick-borne diseases, such as theileriosis and babesiosis. The distribution of Theileria annulata and T. orientalis in the Chakwal district of Punjab was determined by developing a multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay as a scientific basis for formulating control strategies for bovine theileriosis. Specificity was evaluated using DNA from related piroplasm species, while analytical sensitivity was calculated using a long fragment of the enolase gene. A total of 188 blood samples were collected on FTA cards (Whatman (R)) from tick-infested asymptomatic breeds of cattle (Bos indicus, Bos taurus, and Bos indicus x Bos taurus) in the study district. Finally, infections with of T. annulata and T. orientalis were detected using the multiplex RPA and compared with the conventional multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The multiplex RPA specifically amplified 282-bp and 229-bp fragments of the enolase gene from T. annulata and T. orientalis and had no cross-reaction with other piroplasm species. It was determined that 45 (23.9%) and 5 (2.6%) out of 188 blood samples were positive for T. annulata and T. orientalis, respectively, when examined using RPA. Multiplex PCR detection indicated that 32 (17.0%) and 3 (1.6%) blood samples were positive for T. annulata and T. orientalis, respectively. In the present study, a specific RPA method was developed for simultaneous differentiation and detection of T. annulata and T. orientalis infections and used for the first time for the detection of the two bovine Theileria infections.
