Abstract:
Tropical bovine theileriosis is an important tick borne haemoprotozoan parasitic disease of ruminants particularly in bovines. Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum and Hyalomma marginatum are the two host tick responsible for transmission of this disease trans-stadially in India. It may be highly prevalent disease in upcoming days. Screening of animals for theileriosis by ELISA with various antigens such as crude antigen, recombinant (r) antigens, Tams1, TaSP, Spm2 and COCKTAIL-ELISA were used for diagnosis of theileriosis in bovines with high sensitivity of the test.
