|---|---|
| Eperythrozoon coccoides | A species present in mice, but usually requiring splenectomy to reveal infections; rats and hamsters may be artificially infected; bloodsucking arthropods, especially lice, have been implicated as biological vectors, and mechanical transmission by bloodsucking flies has been demonstrated; the pathogenic effect is slight except when combined with other disease-producing agents. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Eperythrozoon suis | A species that produces icterus and anaemia in young pigs and icteroanaemia of swine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Eperythrozoon wenyoni | A species found in cattle, rarely causing disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Anaplasma ovis | A species that causes anaplasmosis in sheep and goats; cattle are refractory. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Babesia ovis | Species described from sheep and goats in many tropical and subtropical areas of the eastern hemisphere as a cause of icterohematuria; it is smaller and less pathogenic than Babesia motasi, and immunologically distinct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mycoplasma conjunctivae subsp. ovis | A bacterial subspecies associated with pinkeye of sheep. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Corynebacterium ovis | <bacteria> Former name for Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Taenia ovis | A tapeworm of dogs and foxes whose larval form is found in the muscles of sheep; heavy larval infections in sheep can have severe economic consequences due to condemnation of carcasses at meat inspection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Trichomonas ovis | Former name for Tetratrichomonas ovis. (05 Mar 2000) |
