Experimental transmission of Theileria ovis by Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum.
The experimental transmission of a newly isolated Theileria ovis is described. Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum nymphs developed from larvae engorged on sheep infected with T. ovis were able to transmit the T. ovis to splenectomized sheep. Meanwhile, H. anatolicum anatolicum adults developed from nymphs engorged on sheep infected with T. ovis were also able to transmit T. ovis to splenectomized sheep. These experiments suggested that T. ovis could be transmitted by a H. anatolicum anatolicum, and the mode of transmission is from stage to stage.
