Texas fever, also known as bovine babesiosis or cattle tick fever, mainly affects cattle and is spread through tick bites. It is caused by the parasite Babesia bovis, which is carried by infected ticks. Symptoms include fever, weakness, loss of appetite, and a decrease in red blood cells. If left untreated, the disease can be serious and even deadly. Preventive measures include controlling tick populations in areas where cattle graze. Treatment may involve medications to fight the parasite and supportive care to manage symptoms and help recovery in affected animals. Early detection and quick actions are crucial for reducing the impact of Texas fever on cattle herds.
