The taxonomy of parasites of the genusTheileriaof domestic animals appeared straightforward to most specialists in the western world about 20 years ago. Apart from the six species shown in Table 1, there were two doubtful ones in camels and reindeer,T. camelensisandT. tarandirangiferis. Species were differentiated by the host in which they were found, their pathogenicity and epidemiology, absence or presence of the carrier state after recovery and the influence of splenectomy, numbers of piroplasms and schizonts, size and percentages of different morphological types of piroplasms and size of the macroschizont. Immunological strain differences had been reported forT. annulataby Adler & Ellenbogen (1935) and subsequent authors, but it was generally believed that there was only one antigenic type ofT. parva, even though Jezierskietal(1959) had demonstrated an antigenic difference between strains from Zaire and South Africa.
