    Notes: Abstract Isolates of Bordetella parapertussis, recovered from sheep or man, were characterised by reaction with specific anti-Bordetella lipopolysaccharide monoclonal antibodies, production of filamentous haemagglutinin, fatty acid patterns, and antibiotic sensitivity. Generally, the isolates lay within one of four groups, with separation of the ovine isolates into two groups. Reactions with specific monoclonal antibodies against lipopolysaccharide separated the ovine isolates into these two groupings. Analysis of the cellular fatty acid compositions by cluster analysis differentiated between the human and the ovine strains and also showed variation within the ovine isolates. When the production of filamentous haemagglutinin was analysed in an ELIS A system, a similar pattern emerged. Varying concentrations of filamentous haemagglutinin (11–429 ng (mg total protein)−1) were extracted from the human isolates and the one group of ovine isolates with no significant protein detected in the other ovine group. These studies demonstrate variation between and within B. parapertussis isolates recovered from two mammalian sources.

    Notes: Summary A close association was found between infestation withAmblyomma variegatum and the occurrence of dermatophilosis on cattle on the coastal Plains of Ghana. Animals belonging to breeds traditionally regarded as more susceptible to the disease also tended to carry higher tick burdens. The basis of the association between infestation with this tick and the occurrence of dermatophilosis would appear to involve tick-induced immunosuppression.

    Notes: Summary The occurrence of dermatophilosis on cattle in the tropics is closely associated with infestation byAmblyomma variegatum ticks. Animals that are more susceptible to the disease also tend to carry higher tick burdens. Longitudinal studies carried out on the Accra Plains suggest that N'Dama cattle acquire an enhanced degree of resistance to these ticks following initial exposure. Lesions on zebu-type Ghana Sanga cattle tend to be confined to the predilection feeding sites of adultA. variegatum even when relatively large numbers of ticks are present suggesting that these cattle are able to contain the effects of the tick. Further studies are required to investigate the nature of the apparent resistance of indigenous cattle to the tick and/or its effects and the potential for controlling the disease by immunoprophylaxis using tick derived immunogens. Current methods of controlling the disease depend on the control of ticks using chemical acaricides. Susceptibility toA. variegatum associated dermatophilosis varies between breeds of cattle therefore the level of tick control required is breed dependant. Rigorous tick control is necessary for the prevention of dermatophilosis on highly susceptible exotic breeds of cattle. The limited use of acaricides applied either at the predilection feeding sites ofA. variegatum and/or at selected times when the level of challenge increases is sufficient to control the occurrence of the disease on indigenous cattle.
