Figure 8From: Control of tick infestations and pathogen prevalence in cattle and sheep farms vaccinated with the recombinant Subolesin-Major Surface Protein 1a chimeric antigenPrevalence of tick-borne pathogens in cattle. (A) The seroprevalence (%) of B. bigemina in vaccinated and control cattle was determined by ELISA, represented as Ave ± SD and compared between cattle in the vaccinated farm before and after vaccination and between vaccinated and control cattle by Student’s t-test with unequal variance (*p < 0.05). The time of immunization shots are indicated with arrows. (B) The DNA prevalence (%) for A. marginale in vaccinated and control cattle was determined by PCR, represented as Ave ± SD and compared between cattle in the vaccinated farm before and after vaccination and between vaccinated and control cattle by Student’s t-test with unequal variance (*p < 0.05). The time of immunization shots are indicated with arrows. (C) The DNA prevalence (%) for T. annulata in vaccinated and control cattle was determined by PCR, represented as Ave ± SD and compared between cattle in the vaccinated farm before and after vaccination and between vaccinated and control cattle by Student’s t-test with unequal variance (*p < 0.05). The time of immunization shots are indicated with arrows.Back to article page
