Matton, H. Van Melckebeke] Borreliose Bovine: Comparaison Des Methodes Simples Pour Deceler Les Spirochetes Dans Le Sang Summary: NaturalBorrelia infection occurring in a calf was followed up using stained blood and buffy coat smears and direct observation of blood and buffy coat in order to compare-these spirochaete detection methods. Direct examination of the platelet-plasma interface of the microhaematocrit capillary tubes after centrifugation allowed detection of two parasitaemias that were not seen in Giemsa stained blood smears. An ascendingBabesia bigemina infection seemed to suppress theBorrelia parasitaemia. Spirochaetes were detected in five out of 37Boophilus decoloratus ticks recovered from the infected calf. The blood and the haemolymph stages ofBorrelia were measured. After treatment with oxytetracycline the spirochaete could no longer be detected. Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine, 1990 Matton P.
