Comparative pathogenicity of Theileria annulata strains.
Twenty three susceptible crossbred calves were inoculated with five Indian strains of Theileria annulata, collected from natural cases of tropical theileriosis at Ludhiana, Hissar, Jaipur, Uruli-Kanchan and Bangalore. All the strains produced clinical disease with typical symptoms and lesions of acute theileriosis. The strains were considered highly virulent and equally pathogenic.
