Serological comparison of British Theileria mutans and Japanese T sergenti.
A serological comparison between British Theileria mutans and Japanese T sergenti using the indirect fluorescent antibody test, showed that the two parasites were indistinguishable. On the basis of this and previous findings it is suggested that the British parasite is identical with the Japanese one and that its name should therefore be changed to T sergenti.
