Genetic Diversity of Theileria parva and Anaplasma spp. Isolated From Ticks Collected From Kiambu County, Kenya. [PDF]
Biomed Res IntEnvironmental changes and human activities such as deforestation and expansion of agricultural land are increasing tick‐borne diseases including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, and Theileriosis. These diseases, which affect animals, can be transmitted to humans through tick bites.
