Fig. 6From: A U.S. isolate of Theileria orientalis, Ikeda genotype, is transmitted to cattle by the invasive Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornisPacked cell volume (PCV) and peripheral blood percent parasitemia of erythrocytes (PPE) in calves 1718, 1726, and 1727 following transmission feed by T. orientalis Ikeda-infected H. longicornis adult ticks. PCV and Diff-quick-stained blood smears were evaluated following tick attachment and feeding. a calf 1718, b calf 1726, c calf 1727. For A-C, 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. ♦ PCV, ○ PPEBack to article page
