Abstract

One of the first signs of theileriosis is asymmetrical enlargement of the lumbar, suprathoracic and patellar lymph nodes. As a result of studies of sick animals in the Ismayilli region of Azerbaijan, theileriosis was identified. Microscopic examination of blood smears and fluid taken from the lymph nodes of sick animals in erythrocytes and outside erythrocytes reveals various forms of theileria. During the incubation period on the 2-3rd day of the disease, “pomegranate bodies” of the pathogen of various shapes, 8-20 microns in size (μm), which consist of a large number (40-50 or more) appear in the enlarged lumbar, suprathoracic and patellar lymph nodes.dark red nuclei and blue colored plasma.
