Total number of 429 blood samples were collected from industrial dairy herds. The samples were categorized based on province, age (2-3, 4-6, and 7-10 years old), calving (≤ 2, 3-5, and > 5) and h...

[ 3 ] - Isolation and Purification of the Schizont Stage of Theileria annulata from Host Leukocytes through Novel Biochemical Techniques

The intracellular protozoan parasite, Theileria annulata, induces uncontrolled proliferation and transformation in bovine B lymphocytes and monocytes in blood circulation andlymph nodes of host cells. This uncontrolled replication happens in the macroschizont stage of the life cycle of the parasites. The development of a rapid and efficient technique is likely to necessita...
