Summary

Rhipicephalus zambeziensis was shown experimentally to transmitTheileria parva parva in cattle from nymph to adult andTheileria parva lawrencei, Theileria parva bovis andTheileria taurotragi from larva to nymph and nymph to adult. In a single trial the tick failed to transmitTheileria mutans. The tick is believed to be a vector ofT. parva lawrencei in the field in Zimbabwe.

Résumé

La transmission expérimentale deTheileria parva parva chez les bovins parRhipicephalus zambeziensis a été démontrée expérimentalement à partir de la nymphe jusqu'au stade adulte, celle deTheileria parva lawrencei, Theileria parva bovis etTheileria taurotragi à partir de la larve jusqu'au stade nymphal et à partir de la nymphe jusqu'au stade adulte. Au cours d'un seul essai la tique n'a pas réussi à transmettreTheileria mutans. Cette tique se révèle être un vecteur deT. parva lawrencei sur le terrain au Zimbabwe.

Resumen

Se domostro experimentalmente la transmisión deTheileria parva parva en bovinos, teniendo como vector el estado de ninfa a adulto deRhipicephalus zambesis, como tambien la transmisión deTheileria parva lawrencei; Theileria parva bovis y Theileria taurotragi de larva a ninfa y ninfa a adulto. En un ensayo aislado, la garrapata no transmitióTheileria mutans. Se crée que la garrapata es el vector deTheileria parva lawrencei en condiciones de campo, en Zimbabwe.
