- W1999322519 abstract "All the calves born (116) into 3 Maasai cattle herds in the Trans-Mara Division of Kenya, between August 1978 and October 1979, were recruited into a monthly health study which concentrated on theileriosis. Twenty-two of the calves died before they were 6 months of age, but the mortality only increased to 25% by the time the calves reached 18 months of age. The mean birth weight of calves was 17.5 kg while at 190 days post-birth the mean weight was 53.4 kg. The main causes of mortality were starvation (7.8%), neonatal diarrhoea (2.6%), chronic indigestion (2.6%) and theileriosis (2.6%) due to Theileria parva and T. mutans infections. The calves were infected with ticks from birth (mostly Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Amblyomma spp.) and the first Theileria schizonts were detected on Day 17 post birth and reached a maximum of 18.4% of calves in the 11th week post-birth. Seasonal peaks of macroschizont incidence occurred in February and July. All calves had patent Theileria piroplasm infections by the time they were 5 months old and 44% had shown patent Theileria macroschizont infections by 6–7 months of age. Generally low parasitosis of Theileria piroplasms and schizonts occurred. Serology using the indirect fluorescent antibody test showed a high proportion of calves received antibodies against T. mutans and T. parva from their dams by way of colostrum. The majority of calves also had active antibody responses against T. mutans and T. parva by the time they were 6 months of age. There was a correlation between the pre-patent period of piroplasms and active antibody responses to T. mutans and between the prepatent period of schizonts and an antibody response to T. parva. Eighteen older calves developed T. velifera infections. “Turning sickness” due to Theileria infection in the brain was detected in older cattle. Other blood parasites such as Trypanosoma vivax, T. congolense, Anaplasma marginale and Babesia bigemina occurred at patent levels at a lower incidence than Theileria spp. and did not cause disease problems in the calves. The calf population was highly resistant to theileriosis since they had a 100% morbidity, but only 2.6% mortality. Theileria infections would appear to have an important effect on the growth of calves but this and many aspects of the epidemiology of theileriosis in the area required more intensive sampling." @default.
