Abstract
Peripheral leucocytes obtained from sheep experimentally infected with tick-borne fever had a significantly reduced capacity to phagocytose and kill Staphylococcus aureus in vitro. Infected neutrophils were also less able to attach to glass surfaces than normal neutrophils. The period of reduced phagocytic activity coincided with the period of parasitaemia and severe neutropenia.Entities:
