Abstract

Bovine tropical theileriosis caused by Theileria annulata is widely prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries of northern Africa, southern Europe, and Asia (25). Exotic cattle and their cross-breds and young indigenous calves are highly susceptible, whereas adult Zebu cattle are considerably resistant to the disease (15). The disease has assumed paramount importance in India with the intensification of cross-breeding programs under the livestock improvement policy aimed at enhancing milk production in the country.
