In the present study, a total of 42 cattle aged between six months and five years old were used. They were in different breed and sex. Out of 42, twelve had theileriosis, 10 had anaplasmosis 10 had both theileriosis and anaplasmosis and 10 were healthy cattle. When sialic acid concentrations in diseased animals compared with the same values obtained from control animals, significant increases (p<0.001) were observed. Lipid-bound sialic acid concentration in diseased animals were also high (p<0.01) except the value obtained from animals with theileriosis. Although anaemia was much more severe in the animals with theileriozis, sialic acid and lipid-bound sialic acid values were higher in the animals which had anaplasmosis.
