Theileriosis is a blood-borne parasitic disease caused by a population of Theileria. It is only found in cattle and is spread mainly by ticks. We've seen incidents in Zimbabwe making the headlines.
A cattle must be bitten by a disease-carrying tick to become infected with Theileria. Direct animal-to-animal contact does not spread it. Cattle may be infected with the Theileria parasite without presenting any clinical signs of illness.
