Glycerol preserved, frozen tick-borne disease vaccine strains developed in Australia were imported into Paraguay to test their safety in pregnant Holando heifers and their efficacy against challenge from inoculated local field strains of Babesia bigemina, B. bovis and Anaplasma marginale in Hereford x Criolla heifers. The two Babesia strains proved to be safe and the B. bovis K strain was very effective in providing immunity to a local field strain of B. bovis. The B. bigemina efficacy trial was inconclusive, possibly due to the avirulent nature of the local field strain used in challenge. The A. centrale strain did not prove to be as safe as would be desirable in safety trials, neither did it provide as good protection as the Babesia strains in the efficacy trial. It was concluded that the Babesia strains provided good protection against field challenge in Paraguay and were safe to use in highly susceptible cattle, however an alternative to A. centrale should be sought to provide protection against local strains of A. marginale.
