Abstract
In Pakistan, theileriosis is a common hemoparasitic disease in small ruminants. In order to establish the prevalence of theileriosis in Lahore, Pakistan, a total of n=730 animals were chosen. n = 103 (14.11%) of the samples tested positive for theileria under a microscope. Theileria spp. was found to be present in 10.73% of goats (44/410) and 18.44% of sheep (59/320), respectively. Theileria infection in goats was unaffected by age, sex, or season (P > 0.05). Age and season had an effect on the prevalence of theileriosis in sheep (P < 0.05), with a gender trend. To determine the effect of the risk variables on sheep and goats, more prevalence studies are needed.
