Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

SUMMARY This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of Babesia bigemina infection in cattle by microscopic and serologic methods in centre villages of Konya between April and October 1999. Peripheral blood was examined microscopically using thin smears. In 18 of 157 cattle (11.46 %) Babesia sp. and in 15 cattle (9.55 %) Theileria annulata were observed. The serum samples of 277 cattle were examined using the IFA test. The antibodies against B. bigemina were detected in 147 of 277 cattle (53.07 %) by IFA test.
