borrelia anserina in chickens previously exposed to borrelia theileri.	exposure of 10-week-old white leghorn chickens to sheep blood containing borrelia theileri neither resulted in infection nor conferred protection against b. anserina.	1975	1120034
immunisation of cattle against theileriosis in nakuru district of kenya by infection and treatment and the introduction of unconventional tick control.	one hundred and one cross european-boran cattle (50 cows and 51 calves), on a farm in nakuru district, kenya, were immunised against theileriosis using theileria parva lawrencei and theileria parva parva stocks from another district of kenya. the stabilates used were t.p.lawrencei (mara iii) used at 10(-1.7) dilution and t.p.parva (kilae) used at 10(-1.0) dilution. the stabilates were combined and inoculated simultaneously with a short-acting formulation of oxytetracycline hydrochloride given in ...	1992	1496782
immunization of cattle against theileria parva bovis and their exposure to natural challenge.	theileria parva bovis isolates were tested for their immunizing capacity under natural field challenge on willsbridge farm in the highveld of zimbabwe. fifteen susceptible sussex yearlings were immunized with the boleni stock and 15 with a mixture of three isolates from the farm, using tick-derived sporozoite stabilates. no chemoprophylaxis was used. a dose of 0.1 ml of stabilate appeared to be safe in preliminary laboratory experiments, but the reactions were severe in the sussex cattle and one ...	1990	2125158
the significance of eperythrozoon ovis in ill-thrift in sheep in the eastern cape coastal areas of south africa.	ill-thrift in sheep in the coastal region of the eastern cape is described. it is shown to be a complex problem attributable to many causes, most of which can be eliminated by supplementary feeding, drenching, vaccination, dipping and management. however, studies on the aetiology of ill-thrift in young sheep indicate that arthropod-borne anaemia-producing pathogens are an important contributing factor, which cannot readily be diagnosed and controlled. experiments were conducted on various farms ...	1988	3210217
borrelia theileri: isolation from ticks (boophilus microplus) and tick-borne transmission between splenectomized calves.	the bovine spirochete, borrelia theileri, was detected in giemsastained blood smears from a splenectomized calf 17 days after exposure to a laboratory colony of the tropical cattle tick, boophilus microplus. spirochetes were detected in the hemolymph and ovary of all engorged female ticks examined, indicating a high infection rate in this tick colony. spirochetes were detected in a 2nd splenectomized calf 15 days after exposure to the larval offspring of ticks from the 1st calf. the only observa ...	1985	4026019
borrelia sp. infection in a horse.	the clinical signs, response to treatment and features of the spirochaete, borrelia theileri as was found in a horse with suspected borreliasis are described.	1984	6545371
evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay that uses the 41-kd flagellin as the antigen for detection of antibodies to borrelia burgdorferi in cattle.	an elisa was developed to detect antibodies to the 41-kd flagellin (p41) of borrelia burgdorferi in serum obtained from cattle. absorption studies, immunoblot analysis, immunoelectron microscopy, and correlation of results of the p41-elisa and the p39-elisa as well as measurement of the antibody to p41 in calves challenge-exposed with borrelia theileri were used to assess the specificity of the p41-elisa. antigens derived from escherichia coli, leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo, and b burgdo ...	1994	7802386
serologic cross-reactivity of antibodies against borrelia theileri, borrelia burgdorferi, and borrelia coriaceae in cattle.	to evaluate the immune response induced by borrelia theileri infection and to determine whether b theileri induces cross-reacting antibodies to other bovine borreliae.	1999	10376894
bovine borreliosis in botswana.	clinical borrelia theileri infection was reported for the first time in cattle from botswana concurrent with babesia bovis and theileria mutans infections. two animals, an ox and a cow of the tswana breed demonstrated clinical signs of fever, haemoglobinuria, inappetance, diarrhoea, pallor of mucous membranes, enlarged superficial lymph nodes and rough hair coats. examination of the blood smears from the affected animals revealed numerous b. theileri, and very few b. bovis and t. mutans organism ...	2000	11131124
lone star tick-infecting borreliae are most closely related to the agent of bovine borreliosis.	although borrelia theileri, the agent of bovine borreliosis, was described at the turn of the century (in 1903), its relationship with borreliae causing lyme disease or relapsing fever remains undescribed. we tested the previously published hypothesis that spirochetes infecting lone star ticks (amblyomma americanum) may comprise b. theileri by analyzing the 16s ribosomal dnas (rdnas) and flagellin genes of these spirochetes. b. theileri, the amblyomma agent, and b. miyamotoi formed a natural gro ...	2001	11158095
a note on two blood parasites of cattle (spirochaeta theileri and bartonella bovis) recorded for the first time in australia.		1946	20290808
detection of borrelia theileri in rhipicephalus geigyi from mali.	disease burden within cattle is a concern around the world. bovine borreliosis, one such disease, is caused by the spirochete borrelia theileri transmitted by the bite of an infected rhipicephalus (boophilus) species tick. a number of species within the genus are capable of transmitting the agent and are found on multiple continents. cattle in the west african nation of mali are infested with four species of rhipicephalus ticks of the subgenus boophilus: rhipicephalus annulatus, rhipicephalus mi ...	2014	24709337
molecular evidence of tick-borne hemoprotozoan-parasites (theileria ovis and babesia ovis) and bacteria in ticks and blood from small ruminants in northern algeria.	using qpcr, standard pcr and/or sequencing, we investigated the presence of tick-associated microorganisms in ticks and blood from sheep and goats from souk ahras, algeria. borrelia theileri, was detected in (7/120, 5.8%) blood from sheep and (13/120, 10.8%) goats. anaplasma ovis was screened in (38/73, 52%) rhipicephalus bursa and (5/22, 22.7%) r. turanicus and in (74/120, 61.7%), (65/120, 54.2%) blood of sheep and goats respectively. coxiella burnetii tested positive in r. bursa (4/73, 5.5%) a ...	2017	28131376
