  • Title: The association between Amblyomma variegatum and dermatophilosis: epidemiology and immunology.
    Author: Koney EB, Morrow AN, Heron ID.
    Journal: Trop Anim Health Prod; 1996 May; 28(2 Suppl):18S-25S; discussion 74S-86S. PubMed ID: 8809987.
    Abstract:
    A close association was found between infestation with Amblyomma variegatum and the occurrence of dermatophilosis on cattle on the coastal Plains of Ghana. Animals belonging to breeds traditionally regarded as more susceptible to the disease also tended to carry higher tick burdens. The basis of the association between infestation with this tick and the occurrence of dermatophilosis would appear to involve tick-induced immunosuppression.
