Abstract |
A survey on the Eperythrozoon infection of cattle was conducted by means of examinations of Giemsa staining blood films obtained from 2,263 cattle which had been fed in the middle and south parts of Korea. On the other hand, continuous hematological examinations to five splenectomized calves were performed. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Eperythrozoon wenyoni were detected in the blood films of five cattle from Kyungpook and Cheju areas. 2. The infections of Eperythrozoon wenyoni were observed in four of five splenectomized calves from Taegu and Sungwhan areas. 3. From these results it is considered that the infections of Eperythrozoon wenyoni in cattle are quite common in the middle and south parts of Korea. |
