Theileria parva, a protozoan parasite of cattle, causes a disease called East Coast fever. The disease is of economic importance because it causes high morbidity and mortality and limits the development of the cattle industry. This paper highlights the experiences with immunization against Theile...

Experiences with immunization against Theileria parva using p67, a sporozoite surface antigen
Protective immunity induced by the infective sporozoite stage of Theileria parva indicates a potential role for antibodies directed against conserved serologically reactive regions of the major sporozoite surface antigen p67 in vaccination to control the parasite. We have examined the allelic var...

Tony Musoke: Improved Vaccines for the Control of East Coast Fever Inception Workshop
Bovine theileriosis caused by Theileria parva continues to be a major economic problem in many parts of Eastern, Southern, and Central Africa. Due to the unsustainable nature or the present control method-using toxic acaricides to kill ticks - alternative control methods are being sought. Live va...
