Heartwater, an infectious disease of ruminants caused by the rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium (transmitted by ixodid ticks of the genus Amblyomma and vertically), severely constrains livestock production throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Its epidemiology varies from epidemics with high mortality (on i...

Immune mechanisms against Cowdria ruminantium infection in livestock hosts are being investigated. This knowledge will be important for identification of protective antigens of C. ruminantium which will have application in the Development of vaccines against heartwater. T-cell Con-A supernatants ...

Heartwater is a disease of high mortality in domestic ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats) in sub-Saharan Africa and in the Caribbean. An intracellular rickettsia, Cowdria ruminantium, is the cause of the disease and is transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma. Losses due to heartwater are high...

Heartwater is a tick-borne disease of cattle, sheep and goats and some wild ruminants prevalent in much of Africa and the Caribbean. It is caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium and transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma. The disease has traditionally been controlled by the u...
