ARS Researchers from the Livestock Arthropod Pest Research Unit in Kerrville, TX, and the Animal Disease Research Unit in Pullman, WA, collaborated in an effort led by Dr. Tammi Johnson with Texas A&M AgriLife Research to study the wild antelope species Nilgai, and its role in the epidemiology of bovine babesiosis. The study found Nilgai do not appear to be susceptible to infection after exposure to Babesia bovis, a parasite that causes bovine babesiosis, or Texas cattle fever. This tickborne disease is a serious concern for U.S. cattle. The findings of this study contribute to nationwide efforts to better understand how the disease spreads in wildlife. Their findings suggest Nilgai are not carriers of bovine babesiosis. https://loom.ly/1CJ1Ebc

Nilgai, a non-native antelope species roaming Southern Texas and Northeastern Mexico, were found to appear not to be susceptible to infection following exposure to Babesia bovis, one of two species of protozoa responsible for the disease known as cattle fever. This research significantly contributes to nationwide efforts to better understand the role of wildlife in the epidemiology of bovine babesiosis. This virulent tick-borne disease, with an up to 90% mortality rate in cattle, has plagued the U.S. cattle industry in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Nilgai are a particular wildlife species of concern because of their capacity to spread ticks over a large range. The study yielded no clinical signs of infection in nilgai groups after inoculation. The implication for management is that nilgai will not move infected ticks around the landscape.
