The Epidemiology of Theileriosis in East Africa

  • Chapter
Advances in the Control of Theileriosis

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science ((CTVM,volume 14))

Abstract

There have been few studies specifically on the epidemiology of theileriosis in East Africa. The classical studies of Yeoman (1966a,b; 1967) and McCulloch et al (1968a,b) investigated the cause of the large epidemics of East Coast fever (E.C.F.) which occurred in Sukumal& Tanzania, concentrating on the populations of the tick vector Rhipicephalus appendiculatus. Barnett (1968, 1977) and Barnett & Bailey (1955) reported studies in the field and laboratory which threw considerable light on the epidemiology of Theileria parva in endemic areas of Kenya. FAO (1975) undertook an enormous survey of the tick populations and T. parva antibodies from cattle in Kenya.
