Thirteen isolates of were made from eight different Districts of Kenya by four different isolation methods. Feeding adult species ticks derived from nymphs collected in the field and the inoculation of homogenates prepared from adult field ticks had the highest success rate. The reattachment of adult ticks collected in the field was successful on only one of five attempts, and the subinoculation of blood from suspected heartwater carriers was unsuccessful. Seven of the isolates were derived from ticks, four from , one from and one from a mixed pool of the last two species. This is the first report of the isolation of from ticks, and the first report of its transtadial transmission from nymphal to adult . [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
