An outbreak of bovine tropical theileriosis was controlled in a cattle farm maintained at Jin Kaushal gosala Jagdalpur, District Bastar, Chhattisgarh. Out of 70 indigenous (30) and cross-bred animals (40), 7 exhibited symptoms of pale mucous membrane, swollen pre-scapular lymph node and temperature 103°F-106°F. Symptomatic treatment was given with Oxytetracycline and Dexamethasone, Meloxicam along with supportive therapy but 3 animals were found dead, despite treatment. Following detection of Koch blue bodies (schizonts) and piroplasm in blood smear and molecular diagnosis using cytob1 gene of T. annulata, rest clinically infected animals were cured treating with Buparvaquone at single recommended dose (2.5mg/kg.b.wt. i.m). Postmortem examination of dead animals revealed pathognomonic lesions punched out ulcers in the mucous membrane of abomasum.
