Abstract | ||||
A serological test, the tube agglutination test after Ristic (1962) was adopted to determine the proper incidence of An. aplasma marginale infection in 258 clinically normal buffaloes in Egypt. It was proved that 18% were Anaplasma carriers. "Blood films obtained from positive animals stained and examined by the usual techniques, demonstrated a much higher incidence as, 42% of them have got Anaplasma bodies or similar struc tures in their blood. It is recommended not to use blood film examination any more for survey purposes. More attention should also be paid to Anaplasma infection in buffaloes as a common disease in Egypt. | ||||
