The infection induced clinical symptoms of disease presented as acute and chronic phases depending upon the duration of infection. Thick and thin blood smears were made daily to the end of experiment for detection of parasites and description of blood cells respectively. Differential leucocytes count (DLC) also done. The parasite observed in blood during acute phase only. Leucocytosis due to marked lymphocytosis recognized in acute phase followed by leucopenia during chronic phase .The main changes in the erythrocytes were the presence of macrocytes, Howell-Jolly bodies, target cells, stomatocytes, Burr cells, and a significant platelets deficiency (Thrombocytopenia) was observed.
