As the result of the blood examinations on 285 cattle it was found that the disease prevailed heavily in these areas as shown in tables; namely the numbers of cattle which were detected the minor piroplasma (which seemed to be Thieleria mutans) in thire red blood cells came up to as much as 97.9 per cent, and those associated with the major piroplasma (which was morphologically similar to Babesia bigemina,) were 6.0 per cent. (Table I. & II.) A tendency was shown that the younger the cattle, the more severely was infected with this disease. (Table III.) Being almost of the cattle, in spite of infection with numerous piroplasms, survived without any manifestation such as "Texas fever'", the bad influences of this disease to cattle have never been recognized, but to leave out the condition is to be regarded as highly dangerous for profitable livestock production in this district. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ToriumiTohru en-aut-sei=Toriumi en-aut-mei=Tohru kn-aut-name=鳥海徹 kn-aut-sei=鳥海 kn-aut-mei=徹 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KamotoKazuhisa en-aut-sei=Kamoto en-aut-mei=Kazuhisa kn-aut-name=加本一久 kn-aut-sei=加本 kn-aut-mei=一久 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagaeKanjiro en-aut-sei=Nagae en-aut-mei=Kanjiro kn-aut-name=長江勘次郎 kn-aut-sei=長江 kn-aut-mei=勘次郎 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KoyanoSuemitsu en-aut-sei=Koyano en-aut-mei=Suemitsu kn-aut-name=古谷野末光 kn-aut-sei=古谷野 kn-aut-mei=末光 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山県庁畜産課 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山県庁畜産課 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山県庁畜産課 END
