Abstract

In this paper, the Mediterranean or tropical theileriosis, a disease which affect to

cattle in Spain and other countries, and its seroepidemiological diagnosis are reviewed

briefly. It is focused on the advantages of immunofluorescent antibody technique

(IF A T) in the diagnosis of this disease caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria

annulata. The use of different stages of this parasite as antigen is discussed. Besides,

the development of an IFAT kit and its preliminary results are commented on.

Seroprevalences higher than 60% have been detected in Southem Spain areas with this kit.
