Abstract
The writer discovered recently at Ancon a fatal case of piroplasmosis in an American driving horse. According to Professor Nuttall,1 who has made an exhaustive study of the geographical distribution of piroplasma, this is the first record of the parasite {Piroplasma caballi) in America. The disease, analogous to Texas cattle fever, is very common in parts of South Africa, where it is called biliary fever. According to Bowhill2 it was first observed in 1883, by Wiltshire in Natal, who named the malady anthrax fever. Hutcheon, in Cape Colony, described it as biliary fever of the horse. The disease has also been reported from Italy (Guglielmi, 1899), Russia, India, China, and Brazil.
