Use of parasitized erythrocyte agglutination test showed that B. argentina parasites collected at relapse in the one animal were antigenically different. When these relapse parasites were transmitted through Boophilus microplus, they reverted to a common antigenic type which was thought to be strain specific. Seven isolates collected from field carriers of B. argentina in New South Wales were transmitted by tick to uninfected calves, and antigens and antisera of the resulting tick-transmitted parasites were cross tested. High titres were obtained in all homologous tests while heterologous tests showed insignificant titres in all but one case. This indicated multiplicity of strain-specific antigens in the parasites.
