Monitoring Theileria parva infection in adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks
Parasitology, 1981 SUMMARYA rapid method is described for preparing and staining salivary glands of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks infected with Theileria parva. The technique, involving the use of a modified methyl green pyronin stain, minimizes the risk of losing material and allows examination of stained glands within minutes of preparation.

Estimating the distribution and abundance of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus in Africa
Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 1991 Abstract The brown ear tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is responsible for transmitting the parasite Theileria parva in eastern, central and southern Africa, where it causes East Coast fever, Corridor disease and January disease in cattle. In an effort to assess the impact of these diseases and their control on livestock production in the region,
