Abstract

A fourteen days old Jersey crossbred calf was presented with Naval ill and epiphora. Calf was later diagnosed as a case of acute Babesiosis. The clinical signs, postmortem lesions and prognosis observed in this case suggest an early blood smear examination, even if the calf is suffering from common newborn infections.
