Skin nodules in East Coast fever
Research in Veterinary Science, 1979A skin eruption developed in five calves with advanced experimental East Coast fever (ECF) (Theileria parva infection). In three cases the eruption was due to intradermal nodules containing numerous theilerial schizonts, in one animal the nodules contained abscesses filled with Demodex mites, and in the fifth calf both types of nodules were present.

Some Serum Globulin Changes in East Coast Fever
Research in Veterinary Science, 1973Using single radial immunodiffusion tests, changes in concentrations of IgG 1 , IgG 2 , IgM and a protein designated 7Sγ 1 were measured in the sera of cattle undergoing mild, severe and fatal reactions to experimental East Coast fever (Theileria parva infection).

Parasitology Today, 1987
East Coast Fever (ECF) (Box I) is a disease of cattle in East Africa caused by species of Theileria transmitted by the brown ear tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Fig. 3). In the past, E C F has been controlled by reducing tick infestations through strict short-interval acaricide application, adherence to legislation on cattle movements and quarantine,

Treatment of stabilate-induced east coast fever with menoctone
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 1981Groups of cattle were infected with Theileria parva by the injection of stabilate material prepared from infected Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks. The cattle were treated with the hydroxy alkylated naphthoquinone, menoctone, which was administered intravenously (i/v), intramuscularly (i/m), or orally (p/o) up to 4 days after the disease became ...

Theileria parva: Possible serological test for East Coast fever
Experimental Parasitology, 1968Abstract Direct conglutination and conglutinating complement-absorption tests were utilized in studies on East Coast fever (Theileria parva infection) using horse serum as a source of complement. Addition of rabbit antisheep red cell antibody and one volume of 1 10 inactivated horse serum eliminated initial difficulties in obtaining an ...

Studies on vaccination against East Coast fever using macroschizonts
Experimental Parasitology, 1970Abstract Cattle were vaccinated intravenously against East Coast fever (ECF). Theileria parva infection, using preparations from lymph nodes containing known numbers of macroschizonts (MS). Vaccine doses were 10 8 , 10 9 , and 10 10 MS. Reactions to single vaccination were related to the numbers of MS used; only one of the 51 inoculated animals ...

Rift valley fever on the east coast of Madagascar
Research in Virology, 1991In March 1990, a Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) outbreak was suspected in the district of Fenerive on the east coast of Madagascar after an abnormally high incidence of abortions and disease in livestock. Sera from humans and cattle were tested for RVFV antibodies by immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and ELISA-IgM capture. Sera and mosquitoes collected in
