abstract
A crossbred cow was presented with history of heavy tick infestation, pyrexia, partial anorexia and passing coffee coloured urine, during an animal health camp. Clinical examination of the animal revealed high temperature, pale mucous membrane and haemoglobinuria. Blood smear examination was carried out which showed the presence of Babesia spp. piroplasms in the erythrocytes. Polymerase Chain Reaction of 18S rRNA gene confirmed Babesia infection . The animal was successfully treated with diminazine aceturate and supportive therapy.
