Among the blood-sucking arthropods, ixodid ticks have some of the most complicated feeding behavior requirements. Feeding is preceded by an attachment process, and each instar has to remain fully attached to the same feeding site for a period of 2-14 days. These biological demands have for a long...

Rhipicephalus appendiculatus adult ticks, collected int he field from zebu (Bos indicus) and exotic (Bos tarus) cattle with high antibody titres to Theileria parva schizont antigen, transmitted Theileria parva infection typical of East Coast fever to susceptible cattle. Uninfected R. appendiculat...

The effect of East Coast fever immunisation and different acaricidal treatments on the productivity of beef cattle
The transmission of Theileria parva by nymphal and adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus was compared by the assessment of salivary gland infections in tick batches fed on the same group of infected cattle at the same time. When larval and nymphal R. appendiculatus Muguga ticks were fed concurrently...

A large database on the transmission of a stabilate of the Theileria parva Muguga stock from one breed of cattle using two stocks of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, Muguga and O1 Pejeta was developed and analysed. Factors associated with the ticks and cattle, and the infections developing in cattle...

Factors influencing infections in Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks fed on cattle infected with Theileria parva
The initiation of feeding of infected Rhipicephalus appendiculatus adults induces the rapid development of Theileria parva sporoblasts within the salivary gland acini leading to the production of numerous sporozoites which are inoculated into the mammalian host initiating infection. In this study...

This paper reviews the past contributions of epidemiology and economics to the control of tick-borne infections of cattle in Africa. The factors affecting successful and unsuccessful control are evaluated on a gographical and on a production systems basis, with particular reference to Theileria p...
