摘要: Bovine Babesiosis in cattle is caused by the transmission of protozoa Babesia spp. ticks as vectors. Juvenile ( $$<$$ 9 months age) have resistance to Babesiosis, rarely show symptoms, and acquire immunity upon recovery. Susceptibility disease varies between breeds cattle. Models dynamics transmitted tick that include these factors are formulated systems ordinary differential equations. Basic reproduction numbers calculated, it proved if below threshold value one, then dies out. However, above number may approach an endemic state. In this case, control measures suggested determining target numbers. The percentage a particular population (for example, adult bovine population) needed be controlled eradicate evaluated numerically using Columbia data from literature.
