SummaryA field study was conducted in the Southern Region of Malawi to evaluate the possible benefits of immunisation of improved dairy cattle againstAnaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina andBabesia bovis. Friesian crossbred heifers were immunised when they were being reared on Government farms. They were then issued to smallholder farmers, together with unvaccinated controls, where many of them were exposed to heavy tick infestation. Vaccination was shown to provide a significant degree of protection against babesiosis on the smallholder farms; 15/32 unvaccinated controls developed clinical disease as compared to only 3/28 vaccinates.RésuméUne étude fut menée dans le sud du Malawi pour évaluer les avantages de la vaccination des vaches laitières contreAnaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina etBabesia bovis. Des génisses croisées frisonnes furent immunisées lorsqu’elles furent élevées dans les fermes du gouvernment. Elles furent ensuite distribuées aux petits propriétaires en présence d’animaux non vaccinés dans des régions fortement exposées à l’infestation par tiques. Il fut démontré que la vaccination eut un effet significatif contre la babésiose dans les fermes des petits propriétaires; parmi les 32 animaux non vaccinés, 15 développèrent les signes cliniques de la maladie contre seulement 3 chez les 28 animaux vaccinés.ResumenSe llevó a cabo un estudio de campo en la región meridional de Malawi para evaluar los posibles beneficios de la inmunización frente aAnaplasma marginale, Babesia bigemina y Babesia bovis en ganado lechero mejorado. Novillas procedentes de cruce con animales de raza Frisona fueron inmunizadas durante el período de cría en granjas del Gobierno. Los animales fueron distribuídos posteriormente a pequeños ganaderos junto con animales control, no inmunizados. Una vez distribuídos, los animales estuvieron sometidos a una fuerte infestación por garrapatas. La vacunación proporcionó un grado de protección significativo frente a la babesiosis, ya que sólo 3 de los 28 animales vacunados mostraron síntomas de enfremedad frente a 15 de los 32 no vacunados.
