Table 1.
List of number of samples collected from various district and zone.
Table 2.
PCR screening results for different parasites in four different agro-climatic zones of Maharashtra state, India.
Nb. Column totals for each individual TBP include all types of infections (e.g. 7 positive T annulata may have occurred singly, or in co-infections with other parasites).
Table 3.
Output from logistic regression of factors impacting prevalence of different parasites in cows in Maharashtra.
Table 4.
Output from MCMCglmm explaining different aspects of infections status, according to host age and breed type, and farm practice.
Data came from subset of female cattle where native and crossbreeds cohabited the same farms and the table reports values from the final model following removal of non-contributing fixed effects and interactions.
Fig 1.
Proportion of female cattle (+/- standard error) infected with any apicomplexan parasite according to acaricide treatment.
The data for this analysis comes from a subset of farms where both breed types were kept.
Fig 2.
Proportion of TBP co-infections (+/- standard error) in female cattle by age class and breed type (crossbred upper panel, native breed lower panel).
The data for this analysis comes from a subset of farms where both cattle breed types were kept.
Table 5.
Output from MCMCglmm testing the impact of infection status, age and breed type on body condition in female cattle.
Data came from subset of female cattle where native and crossbreeds cohabited the same farms.
Fig 3.
Mean (+/- standard error) body condition of female cattle of different breed types (cross breeds upper panel, native breeds lower panel) in relation to apicomplexan and Anaplasma spp. infection status.
The graph shows crossbreeds in the upper panel and native breeds in the lower panel.
