| dc.description.abstract | Heartwater or cowdriosis is specific to cattle, sheep, goats and some wild ruminants, and is prevalent in much of Africa and the Caribbean. Heartwater is considered by some groups as the second most economically important tick-borne disease of livestock in Africa. This monograph investigates and details incidence, prevalence, and prevention of the disease through vaccine development. The paper argues that immunization remains the best option for the control of this important disease. | en |
