One hundred cattle-calves, out of which 37 cross bred and 63 indigenous, were screened for Theileria annulata infection during October-2015 to September-2016 brought to Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary and Animal Science, Bikaner. Blood samples were collected in ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA @1mg/ml) vacutainers from all the suspected cattle-calves for genomic DNA isolation and subjected for confirmatory diagnosis by nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR). By nPCR, 19 cross bred and 22 indigenous cattle-calves were found positive for Theileria annulata infection. Thus, the prevalence of Theileria annulata infection in cross bred and indigenous cattle-calves was 51.35% (19/37) and 34.92% (22/63), respectively.
