BookPublisher: 1994Subject(s): Department of ParasitologyDDC classification: 0450,T Dissertation note: A study was conducted on Theileriasis in rfleilel.ia species, as well as haematological values were conducted by using 28 crossbred and 22 exotic cattles. Theileria annulata was the only species identified in the erythrocytes of infected cattle. Clinically, signs of panting, temperature ranging from 103.8 to 105.8°F, swelling of superficial lymph nodes, salivation and decrease in milk production were observed in infected animals.
There were significant differences in haematological values in infected cattle as compared with non-infected ones. There was decrease in total erythrocytic count, haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, Total leukocytic count, serum protein and neutrophils. Whereas lymphocytes showed an increase in the infected cattle.
Regarding the comparison of crossbred and exotic cattle, there was statistically significant difference in both the means of total erythrocyte count, PCV, Haemoglobin, Serum Protein, lymphocytes and neutrophils. But no significant difference was seen between means of eosinophils, Basophils and monocytes of the exotics as well as the crossbred cattle.
