Abstract

Adler and Ellenbogen (1934) saw Eperythrozoa in blood smear from a splenectomized calf; these they named Eperythrozoon wenyoni. Similar parasites were observed independently by Neitz and Quinlan (1934) in smears from several splenectomized calves. A detailed study of this infection could not be undertaken because under the conditions of the experiments accidental natural infection could not be excluded. Further, the clinical picture in a number of the animals was complicated by concurrent infections of piroplasmosis, anaplasmosis, theileriasis, or spirochaetosis.
