Educational Overview
Tick‑borne Diseases
Tick‑borne diseases such as Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain–type infections caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, Borrelia (Lyme‑type organisms), and Babesia species like Babesia gibsoni and Babesia bovis can affect animals in different ways.
These organisms are transmitted through tick bites and can influence the immune system, red blood cells, and overall vitality.
Common Causes
- Transmission of Ehrlichia, Rickettsia, Borrelia, or Babesia organisms through tick attachment and feeding
- Exposure to environments with high tick populations, such as tall grass, bushland, or livestock areas
- Contact with infected animals or shared bedding, yards, or equipment
- Introduction of new animals into a herd or household without prior health screening
- In cattle, Babesia bovis spread by specific tick species that feed on livestock
Common Signs
- Fever, lethargy, or reduced appetite in early stages of tick‑borne illness
- Joint stiffness, shifting lameness, or mobility changes associated with Borrelia‑type infections
- Pale gums, weakness, or fatigue linked to Babesia‑related red blood cell involvement
- Swollen lymph nodes, weight loss, or general decline in energy
- In Babesia bovis infections, signs may include red‑tinged urine, reduced milk production, or difficulty standing
- In Babesia gibsoni, animals may show intermittent weakness or decreased stamina
Diagnostic Approach
- Veterinary examination focusing on temperature, mobility, and overall condition
- Discussion of recent tick exposure, travel history, or environmental changes
- Blood tests to identify changes in red or white blood cells
- Laboratory testing such as PCR or serology to detect specific organisms
- Additional assessments to rule out other causes of fever, anemia, or immune‑system changes
- Herd‑level evaluation in cattle when Babesia bovis is suspected
Recognizing early signs and understanding how tick‑borne organisms affect the body helps support timely veterinary evaluation and long‑term well‑being.
