Abstract
Theileriosis, a common disease in Rwanda, forms the major constraint to the improvement of local stock by the introduction of exotic breeds. The development of a vaccine against theileriosis, based on local strains is the only practical solution at the moment. A method for immunisation, consisting of infection with a T. parva infected tick stabilate and subsequent treatment with TerramycinR has been developed at Muguga, Kenya (FAO, 1978).
