dc.description.abstract | Amblyomma hebraeum male and female ticks, experimentally infected as larvae with the Ball 3 stock of Cowdria ruminantium, were fed on a heartwater susceptible sheep. The initial attachment of the males was required as a pre-requisite for female attachment. | |
dc.description.abstract | Reticulate bodies were the predominant morphologic form of Cowdria observed in gut epithelial cells after 1-3 days of feeding. Single intermediate bodies and no elementary bodies were observed. Organisms were found within a membrane-bound vacuole and each organism had a double-unit membrane. Infrequently colonies contained homogeneous electron-dense inclusions. Groups of Cowdria organisms within a haemocyte suggested a possible dissemination of organisms from the gut to various other tissues by haemocytes. | |
