Three splenectomized animals, treated on the 1st as well as the 4th day of fever, recovered and were then carriers. Six untreated controls all died. The potential value of a chemotherapeutic agent for Theileria parva lawrencei infections in South Africa is discussed.en©ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). ©University of Pretoria.
