Notes on Animal Diseases III—Piroplasmosis and Anaplasmosis of Animals Other Than Cattle and Trypanosomiasis of Domesticated Animals

Abstract

Both parasites are tick-transmitted. Transmission of Nuttalia equi to susceptible horses by. adult Rhipicephalus evertsi, that had fed during the larval and nymphal stages on carrier animals, was demonstrated by Theiler in 1905, and it is probable that other ticks may also be capable of transmitting infection. Experimental transmission of Babesia caballi by African species of ticks has not yet been effected.
