  • The control of heartwater by means of tick control 
    Heartwater : Past, Present and Future. Workshop (1986 : Kruger National Park, South Africa); Bezuidenhout, J. Dürr; Bigalke, R.D.; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1987)
    Two main methods are currently being used by farmers in the heartwater regions to control this disease in cattle and other stock, namely strategic control of ticks and total control of ticks. Some farmers make successful ...
  • The efficacy of alternative routes for the infection or vaccination of animals with Cowdria ruminantium 
    Heartwater : Past, Present and Future. Workshop (1986 : Kruger National Park, South Africa); Bezuidenhout, J. Dürr; Olivier, J.A.; Gruss, B.; Badenhorst, J.V.; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1987)
    The efficacy of subcutaneous, intramuscular and intraperitoneal inoculation of heartwater infective blood or nymph suspensions was tested in 5 experiments involving a total of 199 sheep. The success rate of subcutaneous ...
  • Heartwater in hosts other than domestic ruminants 
    Heartwater : Past, Present and Future. Workshop (1986 : Kruger National Park, South Africa); Oberem, P.T.; Bezuidenhout, J. Dürr; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1987)
    The importance of further research on the susceptibility of wild hosts to Cowdria ruminantium infection is discussed. The literature is surveyed and an attempt is made to divide the various species described into susceptible ...
  • Natural transmission of heartwater 
    Heartwater : Past, Present and Future. Workshop (1986 : Kruger National Park, South Africa); Bezuidenhout, J. Dürr; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1987)
    Heartwater has been transmitted experimentally by 12 Amblyomma species. Their importance depends on the extent of their distribution, adaptation to domestic stock and their efficacy as vectors. Except for one report of ...
  • The production of heartwater vaccine 
    Heartwater : Past, Present and Future. Workshop (1986 : Kruger National Park, South Africa); Oberem, P.T.; Bezuidenhout, J. Dürr; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1987)
    The events leading to the production of an effective vaccine against heartwater are summarized. The production techniques used at Onderstepoort to produce and control the quality of the infected blood and nymph suspension ...
  • Rearing and infection techniques for Amblyomma species to be used in heartwater transmission experiments 
    Heartwater : Past, Present and Future. Workshop (1986 : Kruger National Park, South Africa); Heyne, Heloise; Elliott, E.G.R.; Bezuidenhout, J. Dürr; Bigalke, R.D. (Published by the Government Printer, Pretoria., 1987)
    Techniques for the rearing of Amblyomma species to be used in heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium) transmission experiments are discussed. These involve the breeding and maintenance of infected and noninfected strains of ticks. ...
  • Ultrastructural features of Cowdria ruminantium in midgut epithelial cells and salivary glands of nymphal Amblyomma hebraeum 
    Kocan, Katherine M.; Bezuidenhout, J. Dürr; Hart, Alet; Bigalke, R.D. (Pretoria : Government Printer, 1987)
    Colonies of Cowdria ruminantium were studied in midgut epithelial cells and salivary gland acini of nymphal Amblyomma hebraeum that were infected experimentally as larvae. Colonies were found in both tissues and studied ...
