Traditional veterinary medicine in the Near East: Jews, Arab Bedouins and Fellahs.

The authors review traditional veterinary medicine in the Near East region. The ancient Jewish sources--principally the Bible, the Talmud and other, more recent manuscripts--contain ample discussions of veterinary medicine and various aspects of the relations between humans and animals. These include zoonotic diseases, hygiene, intoxications, and various preventive and curative measures, as well as legislation and guidelines for the proper treatment of livestock. Arab shepherds, and particularly the Bedouins, have a long tradition of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of various ailments, predominantly using plant mixtures and fire branding.

Intrastadial and interstadial transmission of Anaplasma marginale by Boophilus annulatus ticks in cattle.

The 1-host tick Boophilus annulatus was found to transmit anaplasmosis in cattle transstadially. Anaplasma marginale was invariably transmitted when ticks that had been pulled off Anaplasma-infected calves either after 7 days (as fully engorged larvae) or after 14 to 15 days (as fully engorged nymphs) were transferred within 4 days to susceptible calves. Three morphologically different A marginale isolates, 1 round (tailless) and 2 with different types of appendages (tailed) were transmitted by the ticks. These findings might explain the overlap of the geographic distribution of the disease and that of Boophilus spp in some areas of the world.

Mortality in calves, lambs and kids caused by severe infestation with the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché, 1835) in Israel.

Heavy infestation of calves, lambs and kids with the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis felis (Bouché, 1835), accompanied by severe anaemia and mortality, is described. Lambs and kids were affected more severely than calves. Flea infestation was more widespread in summer and autumn than in winter and spring. The clinical findings are discussed in the light of the pertinent literature.

Notes on the biology of the tick Rhipicephalus bursa (Canestrini and Fanzago, 1877) in Israel.

The seasonal distribution of the tick Rhipicephalus bursa in sheep has been studied during one year in two neighbouring flocks of Awassi sheep in an enzootic focus of sheep babesiosis. Rates of tick infestation on the two flocks were very different. Pre-imaginal stages were found on the sheep during the winter months of November-March while adult ticks appeared in the middle of April and persisted until the end of July. First clinical cases of babesiosis in sheep were diagnosed 2 weeks after finding the first adult ticks. The pre-imaginal stages were found mainly in the pinnas while adult ticks preferred in decreasing order the tail, body and head. Few adult ticks were found on the legs.

Myiasis caused by Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Schiner, 1862) in the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius) in the Peninsula of Sinai.

Massive myiasis caused by Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Schiner, 1862) in camels in the Southern Mountainous zone of the Peninsula of Sinai is described. Wohlfahrtiosis seemed intimately related to the climatic and ecological conditions of the area, particularly altitude, precipitation, pasture, rodents and ticks. The clinical features resembled those described in sheep in Israel and in camels elsewhere. Treatment with diazinon and synergized pyrethrum in pine oil proved effective.

Psoroptic ear mange (Psoroptes cuniculi, Delafond, 1859) in domestic and wild ruminants in Israel.

Otoacariasis, caused by Psoroptes cuniculi (Delafond, 1859) is reported in sheep (Ovis aries), domestic goats (Capra aegagrus hircus), mountain goats (Capra ibex nubiana) and Yaez (a cross between domestic and mountain goats). Captive and captured deer (Gazella gazella and Gazella dorcas) were found negative for ear mites. Sheep and mountain goats were found to be the most affected while goats and Yaez only sporadically so. The clinical manifestations are described and the results are discussed in the light of the pertinent literature.

Use of cerebellar brain smears in the diagnosis of babesiosis (Babesia bovis) in cattle.

Cerebral and cerebellar smears were made from 4 animals acutely reacting to Babesia bovis and 94 animals free from clinical babesiosis. The brain smears were stained by the Giemsa method and examined for the presence of B. bovis parasites. In animals showing clinical babesiosis capillaries congested with parasitised erythrocytes were abundant in cerebral and cerebellar smears. Results obtained from both types of brain smears in animals free from clinical babesiosis agreed closely (83% conformity) as to the presence or absence of parasites. A third group of 39 animals from which cerebral and cerebellar smears were taken was also examined serologically by the indirect immunofluorescent antibody test (IFAT); about 69% of the IFAT positive and doubtful animals showed parasites in the cerebellar brain smears. The existence of false negatives in the IFAT test has been shown and discussed. It has been concluded that cerebellar samples obtained through the foramen occipitale can be used for the microscopic detection of B. bovis parasites in latently infected bovines. This method can also be used in field cases suspected of cerebral babesiosis permitting brain sampling without resorting to the opening of the skull. Such an approach might prove particularly useful in areas where rabies occurs and the animal's head has to be sent to a diagnostic centre.

A case of apparent suppression of Anaplasma marginale infection by eperythrozoonosis (Eperythrozoon teganodes).

The apparent suppression of Anaplasma marginale infection by Eperythrozoon teganodes in a splenectomized calf has been reported. A splenectomized calf, inoculated with 500 ml of blood having 23% erythrocytes infected with A. marginale, developed eperythrozoonosis on the fourth day post inoculation. A. marginale parasitaemia remained very low during the patent eperythrozoonosis. A. marginale parasites started to increase in number only after E. teganodes infection had been controlled with neoarsphenamine. A splenectomized calf treated identically, but not showing E. teganodes parasites in the peripheral blood, developed clinical anaplasmosis and fulminant parasitaemia within 3-4 days post inoculation.

Amblyomma ticks found on cattle in the northwest of Argentina. Preliminary report.

The phytogeographical and seasonal distributions of three species of Amblyomma ticks found on cattle are presented. The material studied was collected during a four-year survey in the Northwest of Argentina. Amblyomma neumanni shows predilection for the Chaqueno Serrano district although it was also found in ecotones (phytogeographical transition zones) of the adjacent Western Chaqueno district and the province of Las Yungas. Amblyomma cajennense was found in the Western Chaqueno and Chaqueno Serrano districts as well as in the province of Las Yungas. Amblyomma parvum was found in all the Western Chaqueno district and in the northern driest part of the Chaqueno Serrano district. Amblyomma neumanni seems to be inactive in summer while A. parvum adults predominate in summer and disappear in winter. The scarcity of the preimaginal stages of A. parvum on cattle suggests that these stages prefer non-bovine hosts.

Development of Nuttallia danii (Protozoa: Babesidae) within tick salivary glands cultured in vitro.

Development of the protozoan parasite Nuttallia danii was observed in salivary glands which were extirpated from Hyalomma anatolicum excavatum nymphs, fed as larvae on infected gerbils and held in organ culture. At 34 C the parasite continued developing in the cultured glands at a rate similar to that observed under normal conditions. Development also occurred in culture at 25 degrees C, but at a somewhat slower rate.
