Abstract
The cattle population of Japan was about 3.7 million in 1974 and increased to approximately 4.2 million by 1979 following implementation of grazing programmes to increase the production of animal protein in Japan. A nationwide survey conducted in 1970 revealed that piroplasmosis was the most important disease affecting grazing cattle, and this situation still remains. As mixed infection with Theileria and Babesia is common in Japan, theileriosis and babesiosis have collectively been called piroplasmosis.
