Tick-borne parasitic diseases constrain animal production throughout the world, mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. The topography, climate and pasture resources of Turkey which has the characteristics of temperate and subtropical climates are suitable for animal agriculture, and are favorable for the maintenance of the parasite-host-vector relationships in almost all regions of the country. The geographic situation limits the regulations on animal movements in the Eastern and Southeastern regions due to close contact with the neighbor countries. Turkey has a strong foundation for livestock resources. Approximately 30 percent of the agricultural gross domestic product is from livestock sector. Tick-borne parasitic diseases are endemic throughout the country, and have a great importance on economy and animal health, especially in ruminants. The major economically important tick-borne parasitic diseases of animals are theileriosis and babesiosis caused by protozoa, and anaplasmosis caused by rickettsiae. The most widespread hemoparasitic agents are Theileria annulata, Anaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina, B. ovis, B. equi and B. caballi. The control of these diseases is mainly based on the treatment of sick animals and tick-control measurements. Vaccination is available for only tropical theileriosis caused by T. annulata. In this work, we reviewed the articles published in the national and international journals to collect the epidemiological data on the major tick-borne parasitic diseases of animals in Turkey.
