Heartwater infection (cowdriosis) in a sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekei) in Nigeria

AE Okoh, IL Oyetunde, and JO Ibu


ABSTRACT

Cowdria ruminantium was isolated from a natural infection of heartwater in a captive sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekei) which died after a short illness in Jos Zoo, Nigeria. The isolate killed laboratory mice in a shorter period of time than did isolates of C. ruminantium recovered from natural cases in cattle. This is the first confirmed case of heartwater in a captive wild ruminant in Nigeria, where the disease is endemic.
