Abstract

|
|
Bovine theileriosis caused by Theileria sergenti is a tick-borne hematoprotozoan disease that is characterized by chronic anemia and fever in cattle. In this study, results of microscopic examination and PCR detection confirmed 17 Korean native cattle with emaciation and fever as acute bovine theileriosis caused by T. sergenti. Buparvaquone was injected as treatment, but was proved to be an inappropriate measure according to our study. After 6 months of injection, clinical signs and hematological values were recovered, but T. sergenti was still identified in blood sample as a result of microscopic exam and PCR. These results suggest that continuous management is necessary to control bovine theileriosis. Therefore, findings of this study may provide significant guideline on the control of bovine theileriosis.
