| Abstract |
This study aimed to estimate the drastic effects of Theileria annulata infection on the general health condition and some hematological and biochemical parameters and to evaluate the efficacy of buparvaquone in treatment of crossbred calves. The drug buparvaquone was injected at a dose rate of 2.5 mg/kg BW as a single dose (group A) or double doses with 48 h intervals (group B). The rate of Parasitaemia in the infected calves reached 12-28 %. Pyrexia reached 40.5-41.3 °C. Anemia was a hallmark of the disease accompanied by reduction of the mean values of blood serum total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, cholesterol, calcium, phosphorous and non significant changes in the concentrations of blood serum triglycerides and magnesium if compared with the non infected control calves (group C). After treatment, group A showed elevated rectal temperature (40-40.6 °C) for 5-8 days, the rate of parasitaemia declined slowly till reached its minimal level (4.5 %) at the day 20 post treatment (PT). In this group, 2 calves were died at the day 7 and 8 PT with high rate of parasitaemia (33-41 %) and pyrexia (41.6°C). In group B, the temperature subsided 1-2 days post the 2nd dose and the rate of parasitaemia reached to less than 1% at the day 12. Hematological parameters remained reduced PT in group A, while they restored their normal values except total leucocytic count in group B. Biochemical parameters were restored except serum globulin concentration in group B, but not in group A. From these investigations we can concluded that buparvaquone at a dose rate of 2.5 mg/kg BW in double dose with 48 h intervals is more efficient than a single dose under the local environment of Upper Egypt.
