Zweygarth, Erich; Josemans, A.I.; Boomker, Jacob Diederik Frederik (Published jointly by the Agricultural Research Council, ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria., 2001)Chemically defined media, termed SFMC-23 and SFMC-36, were devised for the in vitro culture of Cowdria ruminantium, the causative agent of heartwater in domestic ruminants. Both media were based on Dulbecco's ...

Zweygarth, Erich; Kaminsky, R.; Moloo, S.K.; Verwoerd, Daniel Wynand (Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1994)Two Trypanosoma vivax stocks were initiated in culture with tsetse or culture-derived metacyclics. They were propagated axenically as bloodstream trypomastigotes at 35°C in 4% C0₂ in air. Populations of trypanosomes were ...

Salata, Cristiano; Moutailler, Sara; Attoui, Houssam; Zweygarth, Erich; Decker, Lygia; Bell-Sakyi, Lesley (Taylor and Francis, 2021)Although tick-borne infectious diseases threaten human and animal health worldwide, with constantly increasing incidence, little knowledge is available regarding vector–pathogen interactions and pathogen transmission. In ...
