Abstract
The present study report subclinical arsenic toxicity in a cattle unit suffering concurrent severe infection caused by Theileria annulata. It is presumed that the exposure of arsenic resulted in high severity of T.annulata infection, because of the lowered immunity under arsenic exposure. These infected animals were successfully treated with specific and supportive therapies
