This document provides a case study and survey of bovine theileriosis in Chitwan, Nepal. It summarizes the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, symptoms, hematology, biochemical changes, postmortem findings, treatment, and prevention of theileriosis. The disease is caused by Theileria annulata parasites infecting cattle through tick bites. Clinical signs include fever, enlarged lymph nodes, anemia, and death. Diagnosis involves finding the parasite in blood smears or blue bodies in lymph node biopsies. Treatment involves drugs like buparvaquone or diminazene diaceturate with supportive care. Prevention focuses on tick control and vaccination.

Characterized by high fever,enlargements of superficial lymph nodes,anemia. Prostration & death.
Etiology Theileria annulata,round,ovoid,rod shaped organism found within erythrocyte . Blue kotch bodies found in lymphoblast of lymph nodes biopsy.
Pathogenesis of theileriosis When parasite infected tick bites a susceptible animal.first parasite go to lymphnodes and spleen.
Where they invade the lymphocyte multiply ,producing Kochs blue bodies,are merozoints. Early macromerozoites produce micrimerozoites ,entered in blood as piroplasm.
Epidemiology of theileriosis District Theileria Babesia 16 23 23 Anaplasma Negative Total 4 4 4 7 10 10 40 13 53

Symptoms Enlargement of superficial lymph nodes
High fever,105 108 F
Increase heart and respiratory rate Labored breathing,serous nasal discharged.
Cont Coughing,restlessness,coat become rough In latter fever become decline,develop of anemia Jaundice also occurs followed by weakness. Prostration and death.
Heifer suffering from theileriosis enlarged prescapular lymph node
Enlargement of prescapular lymph nodes
Hematology Fall hemoglobin level ( low as 2 gm/100 ml.).
Decrease TEC (1.5 2 million/cmm),PCV 7-9 % .
Leukocytesis earlier followed by leucopoenia..
Cont Anisocytosis,polychromasia(many co lour erythrocytes). Comma,ovoid,round shaped organism seen in smears.
Biochemical Change
Low level of calcium & protein in serum.
Postmortem Change Emaciated ,pale mucous membrane. Distention of gall bladder with thick bile. Punch necrotic ulceration in abomasums. Petechial necrotic hemorrhage on kidney & lungs. Enlarged lymph nodes.
Patecial hemorrhage on kidney in theileriosis
Hemorrhages lymph nodes
Enlargement of cerebellum vein

Treatment Buparva quine @ 2.5 mg per kg body wt I/m with supportive therapy. Diminazene diaceturate @ 10 mg /kg body wt + oxy tetracycline @ 20 mg/kg body wt. On four occasion with supportive therapy is beneficial.
prevention Prevention depends upon tick control.
Tick can be eliminated by repeated dipping.
In endemic area theleria vaccine Raksha Vac- T(Indian Immunological) can be used.
