| Bovine theileriosis - An emerging problem in south-eastern Australia? | Bovine theileriosis is an arthropod-borne disease caused by one or more haemoprotozoan parasites of the genus Theileria. Traditionally, Theileria infection in cattle in Australia was largely asymptomatic and recognized to be associated with Theileria buffeli, now assigned to the Theileria orientalis-group.

Here, we provide the first published evidenc ... | 2011 | 21906697 |
