Conrad, P.A.Ole-MoiYoi, O.K.Baldwin, C.L.Dolan, T.T.O'Callaghan, C.J.Njamunggeh, R.E.G.Grootenhuis, J.G.Stagg, D.A.Leitch, B.L.Young, A.S.[Characterization of buffalo-derived theilerial parasites with monoclonal antibodies and DNA probes]Characterization of buffalo-derived theilerial parasites with monoclonal antibodies and DNA probes

A mathematical description of the transmission dynamics of the tick-borne infection Cowdria ruminantium in commercial beef enterprises in Zimbabwe was used to consider the potential impact of a candidate vaccine to prevent heartwater. The important characteristics of the vaccine were (1) a delay ...


O'Callaghan, C.J.Medley, G.F.Peter, T.F.Mahan, S.M.Perry, Brian D.[Predicting the effect of vaccination on the transmission dynamics of heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection)]Predicting the effect of vaccination on the transmission dynamics of heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection)

Heartwater, caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium, is a serious constraint to livestock development in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Traditionally, the disease has been controlled by the use of chemical acaricides to control the vector tick. The University of Florida/USAID-supporte...

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 ...
