Several tannin-tolerant bacteria were isolated from enrichment cultures of rumen microflora of bush duiker, giraffe, Grant's gazelle, sheep, and goat, and established in medium containing crude tannin extracts or tannic acid. The isolates were characterized by classical and molecular methods. The...

Polymorphic, multicopy gene families are frequently located in subtelomeric regions of the genomes of parasitic protozoa. Theileria parva telomere-associated (TA) DNA from two chromosomes contained long open reading frames (ORFs) 54% identical at the N-termini whose ends were 2670 and 2680 bp fro...

Two distinct genes encoding single domain, ATP-binding cassette transport protein homologues of Theileria parva were cloned and sequenced. Neither of the genes is tandemly duplicated. One gene, TpABCI, encodes a predicted protein of 593 amino acids with an N-terminal hydrophobic domain containing...

The 'Muguga cocktail' which is composed of three Theileria parva stocks Muguga. Kiambu 5 and Serengeti-transformed has been used extensively for live vaccination against East Coast fever in cattle in eastern, central and southern Africa. Herein we describe the molecular characterization of the T....

Two recombinant vaccines against Theileria parva, based on a near full-length version of the sporozoite surface antigen p67 (p67635), or an 80 amino acid C-terminal section (p67C), were evaluated by exposure of immunized cattle to natural tick challenge in two sites at the Kenya Coast and one i...

The nucleotide sequences of the large subunit ribosomal RNA coding genes within the two single copy ribosomal DNA transcription units of a cloned Theileria parva isolate from a buffalo were determined. The two LSU rRNA coding units differed by 11 nucleotide substitutions and two deletions of 1 an...

Ixodid ticks manipulate mammalian host pathways by secreting molecules from salivary glands. Novel cDNAs containing functional secretion signals were isolated from ixodid tick salivary glands using a signal sequence trap. Only 15/61 Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and 1/7 Amblyomma variegatum cDNAs ...

A stage-specific surface antigen of Theileria parva, p67, is the basis for the development of an anti-sporozoite vaccine for the control of East Coast fever (ECF) in cattle. By Pepscan analysis with a series of overlapping synthetic p67 peptides, the antigen was shown to contain five distinct lin...
