Imunonuorescent antibody technique (IF AT) could identify T. annulataini. 80.7 .'" of cross breed and 70.5 .'" of native cattle. In addition. there was seasonal variation in prevalence. The tick species H. anatolicum was recovered from 65.6% of examined cattle. cattle clinically infected wit. T. annulata had significantly low levels or total proteins. albumin, magnesium, potassium and iron concentrations (P≤ 0.05) but AST,.L ., glutamyl transferase activities, total direct and indirect bilirubin. creatinine levels were significantly high (P≤ 0.05). Buparvaquone was effective against both stages of T.annulatal and succeed to control fever and temperature returned to normal range by 7.11 day post treatment.
