The haematological and clinical responses to vaccination with A. centrale and to subsequent challenge with A. marginale were evaluated. Twenty Holstein steers 14 to 16 months of age were divided into two groups of 12 and eight animals respectively (groups I and II). Group I was inoculated on day zero with 107 A. centrale-infected erythrocytes and group II was kept as a control. On day 125 both groups were challenged with 5 .times. 107 A. marginale-infected erythrocytes. A. centrale inoculation produced low parasitaemias (maximum .hivin.x 2.7%), moderate packed cell volume (PCV) falls (minimum .hivin.x 20.5%) and no clinical symptoms. After the challenge group I had significantly lower parasitaemia (maximum .hivin.x 2.3%) and higher PCV (minimum .hivin.x 20.1%) than group II (7.5% and 14.5% respectively). Four steers from group II developed acute anaplasmosis and required treatment.
