Abstract

Lymphocytes obtained from sheep experimentally infected with Cytoecetes phagocytophila, the causative agent of tick-borne fever, showed reduced blastogenesis induced by the mitogens phytohaemagglutinin and E. coli lipopolysaccharide. The period of reduced lymphocyte reactivity coincided with the period of parasitaemia and leucopenia.
