Abstract

An epidemiological model of the dynamics of East Coast Fever (ECF) in East Africa caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria parva and transmitted by the brown-ear tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus was developed. In the model, ticks are assigned to either on-host or off-host categories both of which differ in their capacity to receive and transmit the disease. Cattle are assigned to categories of susceptible, infected and infectious as well as recovered animals having immunity to the disease. The parameters of the model were estimated from data reported in the literature.
