However, there was a weak positive <br />correlation  (r=0.107,  P=0.460)  between  M.  ovis <br />infection  rates  and  parasitic  burden.  Though  a  high <br />occurrence  rate  of  M.  ovis  was  observed  among  the <br />infected  goats,  the  levels  of  parasitemia  were <br />generally mild.</p><p><a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5455/javar.2015.b119"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;">http://dx.doi.org/10.5455/javar.2015.b119</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Advanced Veterinary and Animal Research}, author={Jesse, Faez Firdaus Abdullah and Bt Abu Jazid, Nurul Hafizah and Mohamme, Konto d and Tijjani, Abdulnasir and Chung, Eric Lim Teik and Abba, Yusuf and Sadiq, Muhammad Abubakar and Saharee, Abdul Aziz}, year={2015}, month={Dec.}, pages={464–468} }
