Positive transmission was achieved by inoculating a calf with an extract prepared from flies a few minutes after feeding on an infected calf. The results indicate that the buffalo fly is unlikely to have a role in the epidemiology of anaplasmosis in Australia T2 - Australian Veterinary Journal ER -
