In present observation the maximum age of positive animals was 6 years and minimum age of positive calf was 13 days. There was progressive increase in the incidence of tropical bovine theileriasis with the increase of age, the highest incidence was in the age group of 3 yrs and above (32.19%). During investigation it was observed that the maximum incidence of disease was in July (41.6%) and lowest in the month of January and May (0%). In general the disease was seen in June to November.

T.L.C., T.E.C. and D.L.C. reached towards normal value. Clinical symptoms observed in theileria cases were continuous fever. In some cases intermittent fever, enlarged superficial lymph node, jaundice, reduced milk yield, anaemia, accelerated pulse rate and respiration. All theileria positive cases were treated with specific treatment "Butalex" (Buparvaquone) by intramuscular route (Single dose) at the dose rate of 2.5 mg/kg body weight, and to overcome anemic condition, out of three regimen. of treatment.
