The concentration of hemoglobin, hematocrit, number of erythrocytes and content of iron in the bloodserum of 35 sheep or lambs from five herds in which Eperythrozoon ovis was demonstrated in summer 1994 in bloodsmears by staining with acridinorange are compared with the findings in 70 animals of the same farms which did not suffer from eperythrozoonosis or which were already treated. Sick animals showed significantly lower levels than clinically healthy sheep except for iron. Eperythrozoonosis is characterised by anaemia, poor weight gains or weight reduction. The mortality in lambs reaches up to 28%. Oxytetracyclin was injected subcutaneously for therapy in a single dose of 20 mg/kg bodyweight. Two weeks after treatment the lambs had less clinical symptoms, the ewes needed up to four weeks. Also eggs of trichostronglylids, coccidia, and once of tapeworms were demonstrated and specifically treated. The transmission of the disease and the economic impact are discussed.
1994年夏季，通过吖啶橙染色在血涂片上证实存在绵羊附红细胞体的5个羊群中的35只绵羊或羔羊，其血红蛋白浓度、血细胞比容、红细胞数量和血清铁含量，与同一农场未患附红细胞体病或已接受治疗的70只动物的检查结果进行了比较。除铁外，患病动物的各项指标水平明显低于临床健康的绵羊。附红细胞体病的特征为贫血、体重增加缓慢或体重减轻。羔羊的死亡率高达28%。采用土霉素以20mg/kg体重的单剂量皮下注射进行治疗。治疗两周后，羔羊的临床症状减轻，母羊则需要长达四周的时间。此外，还发现了毛圆线虫、球虫以及一例绦虫的虫卵，并进行了针对性治疗。文中讨论了该病的传播及经济影响。
