This is followed by a series of 8 papers on the following topics: occurrence, isolation and characterization, epidemiology, age resistance, transmission by Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, a study of the T. parva carrier state, and the immunization of cattle against T. p. bovis. These papers are followed by a discussion and conclusions.
