The economics of integrated tick and tick-borne disease control on commercial farms in Zimbabwe
The authors highlight the reliance on repeated natural infections by tickborne pathogens to maintain immunity in immunized herds. That incidence of clinical heartwater in cattle, caused by Cowdria ruminantium, is low while intensive acaricide use interrupts transmission of pathogens. Evidence is pre...
