This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact

Cheetahs are on the list of the most endangered feline species of Africa. To have an effective conservation effort it is important to have a global idea of their health, their behaviour, their environment, and their genetic. This multidisciplinary vision is the leitmotiv of the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia. A lot of African felines have blood and tick-borne subclinical diseases, that can with other infection play a co-morbidity role. That’s why it is important to know the prevalence and importance of Babesia infections in cheetahs. For this, we have different methods, with different sensitivities and specificities. With the help of calculations and graphs, we compared 2 methods, the blood smear microscopic examination, which is the gold standard of Babesia diagnosis, and PCR testing of blood samples. We found that the sensitivity was much higher for PCR, especially considering that blood smear examinations have a very variable sensitivity depending on the experience of the person examining the slide. The specificity is at least as good in a PCR than in a blood smear, if not better because it allows identifying the Babesia subspecies with the right primer. In conclusion, PCR is a good alternative to diagnose Babesia infections, especially for cheetahs who generally have low parasitaemia.
