The impact of tick control on the productivity of indigenous cattle was investigated in three herds of East African shorthorn Zebu and Zebu×Ankole (Nganda) breeds, maintained under three tick management systems practised under ranch conditions: twice-a-week dipping, once-a-month dipping, and no t...

Compulsory short-interval dipping of cattle for tick control has been enforced in Zimbabwe since the early part of this century. Intensive dipping was initially introduced as a measure to control East Coast fever (ECF), following its introduction from eastern Africa. Dipping was subsequently foun...

The authors highlight the reliance on repeated natural infections by tickborne pathogens to maintain immunity in immunized herds. That incidence of clinical heartwater in cattle, caused by Cowdria ruminantium, is low while intensive acaricide use interrupts transmission of pathogens. Evidence is ...

East Coast fever (ECF), caused by Theileria parva, is the most important tick-borne disease of cattle in much of eastern, central and southern Africa. In Kenya, immunization against ECF has been performed in many field trials using the infection and treatment method. The main targets for immuniza...


Deem, S.L.Perry, Brian D.Katende, J.M.McDermott, John J.Mahan, S.M.Maloo, S.H.Morzaria, S.P.Musoke, A.J.Rowlands, G.J.[Variations in prevalence rates of tick-borne diseases in Zebu cattle by agroecological zone: Implications for East Coast fever immunization]Variations in prevalence rates of tick-borne diseases in Zebu cattle by agroecological zone: Implications for East Coast fever immunization

The most important tick-borne disease of cattle in eastern, central and southern Africa is East Coast fever (ECF) caused by Theileria parva and transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus. Other less-important tick-borne diseases in cattle are benign theileriosis caused by Theileria muta...

Session one of this report highlights ILRAD's research programs and the modelling needs of ILRAD and FAO. Session two deals with vector and helminth population dynamics with particular reference to ticks, tsetse and helminth. Parasite transmission and host parasite interaction are discussed in se...
