One hundred and nine cases of bovine tropical theileriosis (Theileria annulata infection) in Punjab State, India, were treated with oxytetracycline (23 cases) or buparvaquone (86 cases). Ages of affected cattle ranged from 6 days to 3 years. Oxytetracycline cured only 7 animals (30.4%), all of them calves below 15 days old, while buparvaquone cured all but one (98.8%), a severely affected 10 day old calf. Cured cattle remained theileriosis-free for 12 to 18 months following recovery. Theileriosis in Punjab is predominantly a disease of young calves that cannot be protected by available cell-culture vaccines. It is suggested that the most economical way to control theileriosis in India would be to immunise calves by infection with sporozoite stabilate and simultaneous treatment with tetracycline, and to reserve buparvaquone for the treatment of clinical cases, in cattle of all ages.
印度旁遮普邦的109例牛热带泰勒虫病（环形泰勒虫感染）病例，分别用土霉素（23例）或丁萘脒（86例）进行治疗。患病牛的年龄从6天至3岁不等。土霉素仅治愈了7头动物（30.4%），且均为15日龄以下的犊牛，而丁萘脒除1头严重感染的10日龄犊牛外全部治愈（98.8%）。治愈后的牛在康复后12至18个月内未再感染泰勒虫病。旁遮普邦的泰勒虫病主要发生在幼龄犊牛中，现有细胞培养疫苗无法对其起到保护作用。建议在印度控制泰勒虫病最经济的方法是通过感染子孢子稳定株对犊牛进行免疫，并同时用四环素进行治疗，而将丁萘脒留作治疗所有年龄段牛的临床病例。
