Abstract
A study was carried out on theileriosis at Theileria parva in cattle reared in the Luhwindja chiefdom. The main purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of this condition in this chiefdom. Parasitological analysis of blood smears from 300 cattle showed an overall prevalence of 69, 33%. This apparent prevalence varied according to the group of origin of the cattle, unlike the sex, age and overweight factors which had no influence.
