Lack of effective tick and tick-borne disease (TBD) control is among the factors limiting dairy production in Uasin Gishu District in Kenya. Besides constraining productivity through morbidity, TBDs are among the most important causes of cattle deaths, most serious being East Coast fever (ECF). I...

Theileria are tick-transmitted, haemoprotozoan parasites infecting wild and domestic ungulates throughout many areas of the world. The most economically important parasite of sheep and goats in many parts of Asia is T. lestoquardi (syn. T. hirci) which causes the disease known as malignant ovine/...
