Abstract excerpt
Background: The parasitic disease Theileria ovis (Ovine Theileriosis) affects the health and productivity of infected sheep and sheep-based industries, especially in areas impacted by endemic tick-borne disease. Aim: This study aimed to achieve molecular characterization of T. ovis in sheep in Central Iraq and analyze the genetic diversity and phylogenetics of the local isolates through partial 18S ribosomal RNA...
