Four hand-reared, naïve roan antelope, 4 months of age, were exposed to naturally infected pasture on a game farm in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, where roan are known to die from theileriosis. Various clinical parameters were recorded during this period. The predominant ticks parasitising these animals at the time (January to February), were Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Rhipiceph...

In order to develop a method for detecting and identification of Theileria annulata, the specific primers from the major merozoite-piroplasm surface antigen sequence of Theileria (Tams1) were used to detect the T. annulata by nested-PCR technique. The assay provides a valuable tool for the identification of Theileria annulata directly from clinical samples and enables determination of the infec...

ticks and tick-borne diseases, including theileriosis, constitute a major constraint to livestock production. two species, known as theileria lestoquardi and theileria ovis, are suspected to contribute to ovine theileriosis in iran. however, the epidemiological aspects of ovine theileriosis are poorly understood in this country. in a survey, designed to identify theileria species in sheep, 52 (...
