Theileria mutans, 4 isolates obtained from geographically distant parts of South Africa by subinoculation of infected blood were readily transmitted to cattle by Amblyomma hebraeum, all attempts to transmit these isolates with Rhipicephalus appendiculatus were unsuccessful

Anaplasma marginale, several techniques used to determine effectiveness of stains for demonstrating colonies of Anaplasma in Dermacentor andersoni

Babesia bigemina infection in population of Boophilus decoloratus cannot be eliminated in short term by treating cattle prophylactically with imidocarb dipropionate, Babesia retained by ticks for at least complete generation

Parafilaria bovicola, general appearance, size, developmental times, and site of development of each larval stage in potential vector flies (Musca xanthomelas and M. lusoria)

Babesia occultans n. sp. originally obtained from engorged female Hyalomma marginatum rufipes collected from cattle in Northern Transvaal, transmission studies in laboratory strain of ticks and splenectomized cattle, morphological, serological, and cross-immunity studies distinguished parasite as previously undescribed species highly infective for H. marginatum rufipes but of low virulence in cattle, unsuccessful attempt to transmit transovarially with Boophilus microplus

Amblyomma hebraeum, 60CO irradiation of nymphs failed to attenuate Cowdria ruminatium

Babesia sp. in Hyalomma marginatum rufipes, laboratory transmission to susceptible cattle achieved both biologically (tick feeding) and mechanically (injection of infected blood), low pathogenicity, apparently not transmissible to horses

attempts to transmit Anaplasma marginale to cattle with field collections of Hippobosca rufipes were unsuccessful, 1 of 3 attempts to transmit organism with Stomoxys calcitrans was successful
