To check breed wise prevalence, 4 out of all 28 positive animals were of Red Sindhi and Dhanni showing 14.2% prevalence, and rests of all were crossbred with 85.71% prevalence. The bi-monthly incidence during April-May was 28.57% while in June-July this was 71.42%. The suspected cattle were subjected to analysis by making thin blood and lymph smears.
