ABSTRACT

Blood samples (336) were collected record prevalence of Theileriosis in buffaloes from twenty one villages of District Lahore. High fever, lacrimation, swelling of sub mandibular and sub scapular lymph nodes, weakness, increased respiration & pulse, corneal opacity, anorexia, loss of condition, pale conjunctiva, anemia, in-coordination and rough hair coat were observed in buffaloes suffering from theileriosis during summer months. Packed cell volume, haemoglobin concentration, total erythrocytic count, and blood smear examination showed presence of macrocytic hypochromic anemia in buffaloes infected with the disease. Based on microscopic examination 39.9 (134/336) prevalence was recorded as compared to 53.3% (179/336) with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.
