Several outbreaks of anaemia, jaundice, abortion and mortality in cattle in New South Wales were attributed to the intracellular parasite, Theileria buffeli. Disease occurred predominantly in periparturient animals that had been moved from inland to coastal areas. Diagnosis was made via exclusion of other causes of haemolytic anaemia and observation of the parasite in blood smears. Treatments included both registered and non-registered products. There is a possibility of a new strain of Theileria sp. in Australia and the possible vectors encountered in NSW are discussed.
新南威尔士州牛群中出现的几起贫血、黄疸、流产和死亡疫情被归因于细胞内寄生虫水牛泰勒虫。疾病主要发生在从内陆转移到沿海地区的围产期动物身上。通过排除溶血性贫血的其他病因并在血涂片中观察寄生虫来进行诊断。治疗方法包括注册产品和非注册产品。澳大利亚有可能存在泰勒虫属的新菌株,并讨论了新南威尔士州可能遇到的传播媒介。
