Quantification of <I>Theileria parva</I> in <I>Rhipicephalus appendiculatus</I> (Acari: Ixodidae) Confirms Differences in Infection Between Selected Tick Strains
26 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
Theileria parva is the etiologic agent of East Coast fever, an economically important disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. This protozoan parasite is biologically transmitted by Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Neumann) (Acari: Ixodidae). An understanding of the vector-parasite interaction may aid the development of improved methods for controlling transmission. We developed quantitative polymerase chain...
