  • Title: The transstadial transmission of Babesia caballi by Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi.
    Author: de Waal DT, Potgieter FT.
    Journal: Onderstepoort J Vet Res; 1987 Dec; 54(4):655-6. PubMed ID: 3444624.
    Abstract:
    Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi larvae were fed on the ears of rabbits. Seven days after larval infestation, unfed, newly moulted nymphae were manually removed to infest a splenectomized donkey showing a patent Babesia caballi infection. Engorged nymphae were collected from the donkey and the ensuing adult ticks were placed on a susceptible horse. The horse contracted a B. caballi infection showing a prepatent period of 19 days after tick infestation. A very low parasitaemia, (highest score 2), which was patent for only 10 days, was recorded. The lowest packed cell volume recorded was 16%.
