The objective of this study was to compare the presence on goats and cattle of adult ticks that usually infest cattle. To this end ticks collected from sets of five goats were compared with those collected from sets of five cattle at 72 communal dip-tanks in the eastern region of the Eastern Cape Province. Amblyomma hebraeum was present on goats at 25 and on cattle at 39 dip-tanks, and a total ...

Blood leukocytes from cattle with bovine ocular squamous cell carcinoma (BOSCC) react with extracts of BOSCC, and blood leukocytes from cattle with cutaneous papillomas react with extracts of papillomas in the erythrocyte rosette (E-rosette) augmentation test. Sera from cattle with BOSCC, with cuta neous papillomas, and with ocular papillomas and sera from lesion-free cattle were tested for the...

A total of 1004858 livestock including 867015 sheep and 137843 cattle were slaughtered in the 6-year period. Dicrocoeliosis, fasciolosis and hydatidosis were responsible for 2%, 1.92...

Background and Aims: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is an oncogenic member of the genus Deltaretrovirus of the family Retroviridae. BLV is the causative agent of enzootic bovine leukaemia and infects cattle worldwide, imposing economic impact on the dairy cattle industry. The purpose of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of BLV in cattle in some provinces of Iran. Materials and Methods...
