Two answers I think I've got, but I need help understanding the cryptic part:

20ac African carrier not entirely accepting European cause of disease, possibly (8)
?A?T?R?A - Bacteria?

7d CON split? (6) ?L?V?N Cloven? but is there a clue as to why L,V and E?

Thanks in advance

20a Bacteria - 'E(uropean)' (in) 'bactria(n)' (camel, not entirely) 7d Cloven (split) - 'love' (O ; nil, in) 'C....N'

bactria(n) camel + e european
20a A Bactrian camel is an African carrier.
20a Bacteria - 'E(uropean)' (in) 'bactria(n)' (camel, not entirely)

7d Cloven (split) - 'love' (O ; nil, in) 'C....N'
Bacteria(n) (type of camel)
Bactria(n) - type of camel - around e

Love = nil/o inside c and n
e(European) inside Bactria(n) (camel)
love (o)inside Cl)
^ forget mine!
Bactrian camels are not, in fact, African - they are asian
