A large Babesia was described in blood smears from two white rhinoceroses (Ceratotherium simum) captured in Zululand. Both animals were calves, a male and a female. There was no sign of disease.
A small piroplasm believed to be Babesia or Theileria was seen in blood smears of 32,1 % of rhinoceroses captured between July 1967 - March 1969 in Zululand. All of these animals showed no sign of disease.
