Beschreibung
This book presents an excellent revelation of the roles that ticks play in the transmission of Lumpy skin disease virus. It gives irrefutable evidence of infection in tick organs, eggs and saliva and explains how the virus is transmitted through various tick development stages to cattle. The book also helps to understand persistence of viral infections in ticks during diapause and how this contributes to overwintering of the virus in ticks.
