A study of the effects of heartwater and its control on livestock productivity and economics in Zimbabwe
Heartwater, a disease of ruminants caused by the rickettsia Cowdria ruminantium and transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma, is a significant cause of productivity losses in cattle, sheep and goats in most of sub-Saharan Africa. In southern Africa, the vector of C. ruminantium is A. hebraeum. In...
