Fehrsen, Jeanni; Collins, Nicola E.; Allsopp, Basil A.; Brayton, Kelly A.; De Villiers, E.P.; Nxomani, C.; Verwoerd, Daniel Wynand (Published by the Agricultural Research Council, Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute, 1999)A Cowdria ruminantium genomic library was constructed in a cosmid vector to serve as a source of easily accessible and pure C. ruminantium DNA for molecular genetic studies. The cosmid library contained 846 clones which ...

Allsopp, M.T.E.P.; Van Strijp, M.F.; Faber, F.E.; Josemans, A.I.; Allsopp, Basil A. (Elsevier, 2007-02)In 1994 a batch of apparently healthy goats was selected for intended export to the USA from a heartwater-free and vector tick-free region of South Africa. The animals were tested serologically for heartwater, using either ...

Liebenberg, Junita; Faber, F.E.; Collins, Nicola E.; Allsopp, Basil A.; Van Kleef, Mirinda (Elsevier, 2012-01)Ehrlichia ruminantium is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen which causes heartwater, a serious tick-borne disease of ruminants throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The development of promising recombinant vaccines ...

Zweygarth, Erich; Van Heerden, Henriette; Allsopp, Basil A.; Josemans, A.I.; Van Strijp, M.F.; Allsopp, M.T.E.P.; Boomker, Jacob Diederik Frederik (Published jointly by the Agricultural Research Council, ARC-Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute and the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria., 2002)An effective culture system for Ehrlichia (Cowdria) ruminantium comb. nov. was first established in 1985 and many stocks were subsequently isolated and propagated in vitro. A notable exception, however, was the Kumm isolate ...
