Between September 2010 and November 2011, 350 EDTA blood samples were received from 73 Australian cattle herds, as cases suspected to be infected with Theileria orientalis. Beef cattle were predominantly affected, with Angus and Angus-crossbred cattle representing 48% of smear positive samples exami

In the present study, we investigated the genetic diversity of Theileria orientalis parasites circulating among Sri Lankan cattle. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the major piroplasm surface protein (MPSP) gene fragments amplified from T. orientalis-positive DNA samples (from bovine blood) revealed

Cattle within seven NSW herds with a history or risk of clinical Theileria orientalis disease associated with introductions of cattle were examined clinically and by haematological and PCR testing at sequential bleeds or at single sampling of different risk subgroups. The T. orientalis Ikeda type wa
