A combined formulation of parvaquone and frusemide (Fruvexon, Bimeda, Ireland) was evaluated for treatment experimental tropical theileriosis infection of calves. A total of Friesian dairy calves were infected with T. annulata sporozoite stabilate. Following infection with an equivalent of five infected Hyalomma excavatum ticks per calf all animals, developed severe clinical theileriosis. Fruve...

abstract this study was conducted with the aim to evaluate efficacy of applying 4 different formulations of beauveria bassiana (bb) fungus spore to combat hyalomma ticks. formulations used included: 1) distilled water with 2% tween and bb; 2) distilled water with 10% cottonseed oil, 0.01% sucrose, 0.2% tween and bb; 3) distilled water with 10% liquid paraffin, 0.01% sucrose, 0.2% tween and bb, ...

ticks are important ectoparasites which are a considerable threat to human beings and to animals all overthe world. enormous economic losses annually occur in livestock production around the world as a result oftheir existance. one of the ways to control ticks and tick-borne diseases is to introduce resistance to theseectoparasites through immunization. for identification of the putative protec...

The overall prevalence was 52.4% (97 out 185), for ovis it 9.7%, lestoquardi 20% mixed infection 22.7% city, based on conventional-PCR multiplex-...

To the Editor: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV; family Bunyaviridae, genus Nairovirus) causes outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic fever in humans, with case-fatality rates <30% (1,2). The disease was initially recognized by Russian scientists in the 1940s (3), and the virus was fi rst isolated in the Democratic Republic of Congo some years later (4). CCHFV is reported throughout broad ...

The material studied consisted of laboratory-bred specimens of 2 species of Prostriata and 8 species of Metastriata. Jxodes ricinus and / . hexagonus (Prostriata) have XX:XY sex-determining mechanisms with diploid complements of 28 and 26 acrocentric chromosomes respectively. All the species of Metastriata studied have XX:XO sex-determining mechanisms with diploid complements of 21 and 22 chrom...
