Ehrlichia ruminantium infects Rhipicephalus microplus in West Africa

22 Jun 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The invasion of West Africa by Rhipicephalus microplus during the past decade has changed the ecological situation of the agent of heartwater Ehrlichia ruminantium in this area. Before, its local vector, Amblyomma variegatum, was the most abundant tick species found on livestock. Today, the abundance of the R. microplus is one magnitude higher than that of A. variegatum in many west-African...
