The main clinical manifestations of theileria infection in camels include fever, watery discharge from the eyes, severe malnourishment, and sporadic diarrhea. Additional symptoms and signs that have been noted include sadness abortion, fatigue, reduced production of milk, jaundice, and even mortality. In addition to these systemic symptoms, swelling of the cutaneous lymph nodes was also observed. Clinical exams and relevant laboratory testing are combined to produce a conclusive diagnosis.
