Immune and Inflammatory Response of Donkeys (Equus asinus) Tested Positive to Tick-borne Pathogens

•Haematology and serum protein pattern of donkeys tested positive to tick-borne pathogens are assessed•Donkeys scored positive to Ehrlichia equi, Theileria equi and Rickettsia Rickettsii•Haemolytic and/or macrocytic anemia, thrombocytopenia in donkeys positive to pathogens are observed•Leukogram and serum protein profile changed in donkeys positive to pathogens•Results suggest acute inflammation development and immunoglobulin production in donkeys positive to pathogens
