The association between serum antibody titres to Theileria parva in calves and potential explanatory factors were examined in a longitudinal observational study that was conducted in 5 cohorts of female calves with a total of 225 calves on 188 smallholder dairy farms. The farms were distributed i...

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...

This paper studies East Coast fever (Theileria parva infection) risk in four district smallholder-farming areas of Kenya representing a range of epidemiological states of the disease. The areas include Kakamega, where indigenous cattle are intensively grazed with minimal tick control under modera...
