An assessment of the economic impact of heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium infection) and its control in Zimbabwe
Heartwater, caused by the rickettsial organism Cowdria ruminantium, is a serious constraint to livestock development in much of sub-Saharan Africa. Traditionally, the disease has been controlled by the use of chemical acaricides to control the vector tick. The University of Florida/USAID-supported h...
