Thirty buffaloes naturally infected with Theileria annulata and 10 parasitologically free controls were used to determine the potential clinical, haematological and therapeutic impact of tropical theileriosis in Egypt. The clinical signs in the infected buffaloes were pyrexia (40.5-41.5 degrees C), enlargement of superficial lymph nodes, slight nasal and ocular discharges, salivation, anaemia and respiratory distress. Eye lesions also were recorded. There was a significant decrease in erythrocyte counts and haemoglobin content and a significant decrease in total leucocyte counts in infected buffaloes compared to controls. Early treatment with buparvaquone was 100% effective in eliminating the protozoan parasites from the blood and lymph nodes and led to an improvement in the clinical state whereas treatment in the later stages of the disease whilst eliminating the parasites failed to improve the clinical condition of the animal.
30头自然感染环形泰勒虫的水牛和10头寄生虫学检查未感染的对照水牛被用于确定热带泰勒虫病在埃及的潜在临床、血液学和治疗影响。感染水牛的临床症状为发热（40.5 - 41.5摄氏度）、浅表淋巴结肿大、轻微鼻眼分泌物、流涎、贫血和呼吸窘迫。还记录到眼部病变。与对照相比，感染水牛的红细胞计数和血红蛋白含量显著降低，总白细胞计数也显著降低。早期用丁萘脒治疗在从血液和淋巴结中清除原生动物寄生虫方面100%有效，并使临床状态得到改善，而在疾病后期治疗虽能清除寄生虫，但未能改善动物的临床状况。
