Genetic diversity of Ehrlichia ruminantium field strains from selected farms in South Africa.

The Onderstepoort journal of veterinary research - 25 Jun 2020

Steyn Helena C, Pretorius Alri

Abstract excerpt

Heartwater is a tick-borne disease caused by the intracellular rickettsial parasite Ehrlichia ruminantium and transmitted by Amblyomma hebraeum ticks. Heartwater is problematic in endemic areas because it causes high mortality in ruminants and leads to economic losses that threaten productivity and food security. This may indicate that there is augmented genetic diversity in the field, which may result in...
