The erythrocyte osmotic fragility curves of the different blood pathogen infected Kedah-Kelantan X Brahman cattle groups from Muadzam Pahang Malaysia. Blood pathogen infection was confirmed by PCR amplification and sequencing. The erythrocyte osmotic fragility values were obtained by subjecting blood samples to different sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations (0–0.9%). All curves showed a rightward trend which signifies high fragility of red blood cells, except for the clinically healthy cattle. TE: Trypanosoma evansi infected cattle; AP + TS: Anaplasma platys + Theileria sinensis; CMH: Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos infected cattle; TS: Theileria sinensis infected cattle; TO+AM: Theileria orientalis + A. marginale infected cattle, TS + CMH: Theileria sinensis + Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos infected cattle, TO + TS: Theileria orientalis + Theileria sinensis infected cattle; CMH + TS + AM: Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos + Theileria sinensis + Anaplasma marginale infected cattle; CHC: Clinically healthy cattle
