Hyalomma ticks of either sex were collected from the apparently healthy cross-bred cattle. The ticks were dissected and their salivary glands were stained by methyl green pyronin stain for the detection of Theileria annulata sporozoite in their salivary glands. The prevalence of Theileria annulata infection in Hyalomma ticks was found to be 21.5%. No correlation was found between parasitemia of cattle and tick infection rate.
