**3.5 Diagnosis**

Investigation of giemsa-stained blood smears and lymph node biopsy will reveal piroplasms in erythrocytes and schizonts in lymphocytes. For diagnosis, indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) and indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are the most commonly used techniques. The ELISA tests is more sensitive than IFAT (Taylor et al., 2007; Radostits et al., 2008).
