Prevalence of Theileriosis in Red Hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus caama) in Namibia
@article{pitalsk2005PrevalenceOT, title={Prevalence of Theileriosis in Red Hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus caama) in Namibia}, author={E. {\vS}pitalsk{\'a} and M. Riddell and H. Heyne and Olivier A. E. Sparagano}, journal={Parasitology Research}, year={2005}, volume={97}, pages={77-79} }
A total of 23 blood samples from Red Hartebeest and 28 ticks of the subspecies Rhipicephalus evertsi were collected in Namibia during the summer 2003. For a Piroplasmida species, Theileria sp 95.7% of blood and 50.0% of tick samples (all R. e. mimeticus, none of R. e. evertsi were carrying the pathogen) were PCR positive. Sequencing showed infection from a re-emerging mild species of Theileria phylogenetically different from other African Theileria species such as Theileria parva, T. buffeli, T… CONTINUE READING
