The lymph nodes were studied based on their colourand consistency. 44% of the cattle were found positive for L. serrata infection. The number of parasitesisolated from each infected lymph node varied from 1 to 69 with a mean of 5.48. There were no significantdifferences in the number of parasites in different age groups. The study underlined the need for a morethorough investigation of mesenteric lymph nodes inspection in the cattle of this region. %U https://ijvr.shirazu.ac.ir/article_2640_182bc4e4031c86cdb8f8c21db3eea20e.pdf
