    abstract = {The present study was conducted to investigate tick species 
  and tick-transmitted <I>Theileria</I> and <I>Babesia</I> species in Qinghai 
  Province, Northwestern China. A total of 357 ticks, belonging to 2 <I>Ixodid</I> 
  genera, <I>Haemaphysalis qinghaiensis</I> (167; 46.8%) and <I>Dermacentor nuttalli</I> 
  (190; 53.2%) were collected from the domestic animals during May and June 2010. 
  The ticks were separated into 78 tick pools according to their species and examined 
  for <I>Theileria</I> and <I>Babesia</I> species by a nested PCR targeting <I>18S 
  rRNA</I> gene. Of the 25 <I>H. qinghaiensis</I> pools, 2 (8.0%) were tested 
  positive for Theileria. Only 1 (1.9%) was tested positive for Babesia in 53 
  <I>D. nuttalli</I> pools. The sequence and phylogenetic analyses showed that 
  Babesia and Theileria detected in this study were grouped into <I>B. caballi</I> 
  and <I>T. luwenshuni</I>, respectively implying the potential existence of theileriosis 
  and babesiosis in animals in Qinghai Province.}
