Seventy-one naturally occurring cases of East Coast Fever (ECF) in Kiambu district, Kenya were treated using buparvaquone. Sixty cows recovered. Of the 11 that died, 5 were due to ECF complicated by anaplasmosis while 6 were plain ECF cases. Out of the 60 that did not die, 50% recovered after treatment with a single dose of buparvaquone. In 30 (43.7%) of the cases, ECF occurred concurrently with anaplasmosis or babesiosis
