  • Title: Infection rates of Theileria annulata in the salivary glands of the tick Hyalomma marginatum rufipes.
    Author: Jongejan F, Morzaria SP, Mustafa OE, Latif AA.
    Journal: Vet Parasitol; 1983 Sep; 13(2):121-6. PubMed ID: 6415895.
    Abstract:
    Theileria annulata was experimentally transmitted to cattle on two occasions by the two-host tick Hyalomma marginatum rufipes. Transmission was transstadial; engorged nymphs fed on Theileria annulata-infected calves transmitted the disease as adults. Salivary glands of all partially fed and incubated adult ticks were heavily infected with Theileria parasites. Immatures attached rapidly and fed successfully on cattle. However, since the immature stages of this species normally feed on birds, this tick is unlikely to be an important vector in the field.
