| dc.description.abstract | (1) The transmission of heart water to two blesbuck is discussed. (2) Infected A. hebraeum nymphae are capable of transmitting heart water to the blesbuck. (3) Heartwater could be demonstrated by blood sub inoculation into susceptible sheep for a period of 35 clays in one blesbuck and for 9 days in another. (4) The virulence of heart water virus did not change by passage. (5) Infective nymphae do not loose their infection but retain it to the adult stage. (6) Clean larvae will pick up infection for transmission as nymphae. (7) Clean nymphae will pick up infection for transmission as adults. (8) The technique of tick breeding and feeding is briefly discussed. (9) Both blesbuck died, one 13 and the other 7 weeks after tick infestation. (10) The significance of these experiments is discussed. | en_ZA |
