Isolation and transmission of Cowdria ruminantium (causal agent of heartwater disease) in Blue Nile Province, Sudan. 1984

F Jongejan, and S P Morzaria, and O A Shariff, and H M Abdalla

Heartwater was diagnosed in sheep at the Umm Banein Livestock Research Station, Blue Nile Province, Sudan. Cowdria ruminantium was isolated from sheep by subinoculation of blood into a goat. Adult Amblyomma lepidum ticks fed as nymphs on this goat transmitted heartwater to a Friesian (Bos taurus) calf. Brain stabilates from this calf, either snap-frozen into liquid nitrogen or frozen slowly in a deepfreezer at -70 degrees C, with DMSO as cryoprotectant, were infective to cattle when inoculated subcutaneously.
