Extract

Transstadial transmission of Theileria annulata with Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum, H. dromedarii and H. marginatum isaaci, and Haemaphysalis bispinosa, Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides haema-physaloides and Boophilus microplus was determined.

It was found that the infection was successfully transmitted by H. a. anatolicum from larva to nymph and nymph to adult in all attempts. When larvae were fed on an infected calf the succeeding adults transmitted the infection when the intervening nymphs fed on a rabbit (nonsusceptible host) but not when fed on a calf (susceptible host). Infective adult ticks transmitted the parasite during the first 24 h of feeding on a calf. When the feeding was interrupted after 24 h, and the tick transferred to another calf, the infection was transmitted to the latter as well.

H. dromedarii successfully transmitted the infection from larva to nymph and from nymph to adult.

Larvae of H. marginatum isaaci did not feed on calves but the infection was successfully transmitted from nymph to adult.

Haemaphysalis bispinosa, Rhipicephalus h. haemaphysaloides and Boophilus microplus did not transmit Th. annulata from larva to nymph to adult.
