Cross-reaction among four isolates of Theileria annulata from India.
A close identity in virulence and cross-protection of four isolates of Theileria annulata was observed when infection was produced in naive, crossbred (Bos taurus male X B. indicus female) male calves. The evidence that strains of T. annulata in India differ in virulence and immunogenicity is equivocal at present.
