Blood smear examination and haematology are quick and routinely used diagnostic tests by field veterinarians. A total of 117 cows were screened for Theileria annulata infection out of which, 28 were positive for infection. Present note for field vets deals with general clinical aspects of Theileria annulata infection in dairy cows.
