Bovine tropical theileriosis, major threat to dairy sector, is tick borne hemoprotozoan diseases and causes high morbidity and mortality especially in calves. Current study is the first case of bovine tropical theileriosis in 19 days old cross bred calf from Jaipur, Rajasthan. The calf was presented to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC) with clinical signs of high fever 106.2°F, anorexia, dullness, absence of suckling reflux, recumbent, slightly pale mucus membrane, presence of ticks and enlarged pre-scapular lymph nodes. The peripheral thin blood film and lymph node smear confirmed the presence of piroplasmic stages of organisms and Koch’s blue bodies respectively. The animal was treated and recovered successfully with a single dose of buparvaquone (Butalex) deep intra muscular route, at the rate of 2.5 mg/kg body weight, along with supportive therapy.
