It has been found that African buffalo may remain infective carriers of Theileria parva lawrencei for at least 5 years. This infection is now known to exist in buffalo in 3 sites in northern Tanzania. It was shown that buffalo can be infected with Haematoxenus veliferus and Theileria mutans of cattle and retransmission of these parasites from buffalo to cattle was successful. The species of Haematoxemus reported in wild buffalo in central and East Africa is likely to be H. veliferus, while the possibility that Theileria barnetti of buffalo is identical with T. mutans should be considered. African buffalo can also be infected with Babesia bigemina and Anaplasma marginale of cattle and although the infections are latent, their blood may remain infective for at least several months. |
