DOI:10.30954/2277-940X.06.2019.14
Abstract:
The present study was done with the objective of comparative efficacy of arteether and buparvaquone against theileriosis in cattle. Total 67 cattle suspected for theileriosis were screened on the basis of clinical and blood smear examination. Group I (n=6) was treated with Inj. buparvaquone @ 2.5 mg/kg body weight once and Group II (n=6) was treated with Inj. arteether @5 mg/kg body weight intramuscularly for three consecutive days. Rectal temperature, heart rate and respiration rate were significantly increased before treatment and in both the groups after treatment showed significant improvement. Haematological parameters showed significant decreased in Hb, PCV, TEC, TLC and neutrophil and significant increase in lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophil. Non significant difference in basophil count was observed. After treatment, significant improvement was observed in mean hemoglobin, PCV, TEC, TLC, neutrophil, lymphocyte and eosinophil. Non significant improvement was observed in monocyte and basophil count. Present study revealed percent efficacy of arteether was 66.66% and buparvaquone 100%.
