| 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 |
| detection of antibodies to eperythrozoon ovis by the use of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | specific antibody to eperythrozoon ovis was detected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) in the sera of infected sheep. in the presence of parasite antigen, positive control serum showed a reaction approximately eight times that of negative serum. when compared to an immunofluorescent antibody test (ifat), the elisa was eight times more sensitive. positive control sera gave a titre of 1:3200 by ifat and 1:25,600 by elisa. through the use of a reference titration curve elisa could be ... | 1987 | 3317583 |
| the identification of eperythrozoon ovis in anemic sheep. | eperythrozoon ovis, a rickettsial parasite of erythrocytes, was found in anemic lambs maintained for reproductive endocrinology research. the parasite was identified in the blood films of 13 animals in the flock of 30. the sexes were infected equally (7/16 males versus 6/14 females). the relationship between the severity of the anemia and the presence of organisms in blood was statistically significant. one animal died with severe anemia. light, scanning electron, and transmission electron micro ... | 1988 | 3374094 |
| effect of eperythrozoon ovis on the lysis of sheep erythrocytes in the complement fixation test. | when erythrocytes from sheep experimentally infected with eperythrozoon ovis were used in the titration of reagents for a standardised complement fixation test, increased amounts of both haemolysin and complement were required for erythrocyte lysis compared with preinfection titrations. the haemolysin requirement increased by up to 125% at 55 days post-infection and complement requirement increased by up to 40% at 40 days post-infection. these changes appeared to correlate with the development o ... | 1987 | 3433658 |
| the prevalence of eperythrozoon ovis infection in weaner and adult sheep in north eastern victoria. | a survey of weaner (6 to 12 months) and adult sheep for the presence of eperythrozoon ovis antibodies using an immunofluorescent antibody assay was carried out. in 22 shires in north eastern victoria over 2 years infection was demonstrated in 10% and 51% of weaner and adult sheep respectively. | 1986 | 3527135 |
| a modified indirect immunofluorescent assay for the detection of antibody to eperythrozoon ovis in sheep. | experimental ovine eperythrozoonosis was studied using giemsa staining of blood films and a modified indirect immunofluorescent antibody assay (ifaa). the serums of 21 border leicester merino cross lambs between 12 weeks and 7 months-of-age were analysed before and after infection with eperythrozoon ovis (e. ovis) using the ifaa test. no rise in the ifaa titre was seen until day 7 and this coincided with the first detection of e. ovis organisms in blood smears stained with giemsa. the percentage ... | 1986 | 3530231 |
| the effects of eperythrozoon ovis in sheep. | infection of adult sheep with a single strain of eperythrozoon ovis led to three different situations. first, the animal resisted the organism and no haematological changes occurred. second, the host developed a controllable parasitaemia in which erythrocyte values fell shortly after peak parasitaemia and then returned to normal. third, the host failed to control the parasitaemia and chronic low grade anaemia developed. dexamethasone sometimes caused a resurgence of parasitaemia in sheep. | 1987 | 3628990 |
| changing morphology of eperythrozoon ovis. | light microscopy studies of eperythrozoon ovis in sheep revealed that giemsa stain was only less reliable than acridine orange as a means of parasite identification when low parasitaemias were present. the morphology of e ovis altered as the degree of parasitaemia increased. | 1987 | 3628991 |
| chemotherapeutic efficacy of imidocarb dipropionate on experimental eperythrozoon ovis infection in sheep. | non-splenectomised cheviot and soay sheep experimentally infected with eperythrozoon ovis were treated subcutaneously with two doses of 4 mg/kg of imidocarb dipropionate 24 hours apart. a rapid reduction in e. ovis parasitaemias following the first injection of imidocarb was observed and e. ovis organisms were not demonstrable 48 hours after the first treatment. however, recrudescences of infection were observed 14 and 28 days after treatment in the soay and cheviot sheep respectively. side-effe ... | 1986 | 3739001 |
