Creole goats and cattle in Guadeloupe can be carriers of cowdriosis (heartwater: Cowdria ruminantium) after recovery for a period as long as 11 months in goats and 2 months in cattle. The carrier status was demonstrated by feeding Amblyomma variegatum nymphs on recovered animals and the resulting adult ticks on susceptible goats. Cowdria ruminantium was not detected permanently during the carrier status.
瓜德罗普岛的克里奥尔山羊和牛在康复后可能成为牛心水病（牛心水：反刍兽考德里氏体）的携带者，山羊的携带期长达11个月，牛的携带期为2个月。通过让变异革蜱若虫叮咬康复后的动物，并将由此产生的成年蜱虫叮咬易感山羊，证实了携带状态。在携带状态期间，未永久检测到反刍兽考德里氏体。
