The Epidemiology of Theileriosis in Africa

by Bruce D. Perry, R.A.I. Norval, Author Unknown, et al.

Theileriosis is the name given to infections caused by several species of Theileria, the most important of which in Africa are Theileria annulata and Theileria parva. Their distributions in the continent are distinct, and follow that of their main field tick vectors.
