title: Induction of infective stages of Theileria parva by exposure of host ticks to high temperature.
abstract: It was demonstrated that Theileria parva parasites infective to cattle could be induced by exposure of infected adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks to 37 degrees C. The production of the sporozoites of T parva was not as efficient as by feeding ticks on rabbits.
