Group A was further subdivided into A-I (5 animals with pure Anaplasmosis) and A-II (5 animals with mixed infection of Anaplasmosis and Babesiosis). Group-A was treated with a single dose of imidocarb dipropionate (3 mg/kg body weight). In Group A-I one animal recovered completely, 02 moderately while remaining 02 animals did not respond.
