Packed cell volume (PCV) and peripheral blood percent parasitemia of erythrocytes (PPE) of calf 1697 following T. orientalis Ikeda blood stabilate inoculation. PCV and Diff-quick-stained blood smears were evaluated following intravenous inoculation with T. orientalis-Ikeda-infected blood stabilate. PCV (♦ left y-axis) and PPE (○ right y-axis) are depicted as percentages, and each value is derived from analysis of a single blood sample taken on the indicated day post-inoculation. Grey boxes indicate timeline of nymphal tick acquisition feeds. Solid box: Batch #1, Dashed box: Batch #2
