Svitek, NicholasSteinaa, LucillaSaya, R.Awino, EliasNielsen, MortenBuus, SorenNene, Vishvanath[The quest for the needle (antigen) in the haystack (pathogen): Immunoinformatics to the rescue]The quest for the needle (antigen) in the haystack (pathogen): Immunoinformatics to the rescue

East Coast fever is a lymphoproliferative disease caused by the tick-borne protozoan parasite Theileria parva. The sporozoite stage of this parasite, harboured and released from the salivary glands of the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus during feeding, invades and establishes infection in bovin...


Nyagwange, JamesTijhaar, EdwinTernette, NicolaMobegi, FredrickTretina, KyleSilva, Joana C.Pelle, RogerNene, Vishvanath[Characterization of the Theileria parva sporozoite proteome]Characterization of the Theileria parva sporozoite proteome

Theileria are important hemoprotozoan parasites of domestic and wild ruminants, transmitted by ixodid ticks leading to diseases which range from mild in apparent reactions to highly fatal diseases. Bovine-infecting T. parva and T. annulata and ovine-infecting T. lestoquardi are of major global ec...

We have developed a polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific primers-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-SSP-RFLP) method to rapidly differentiate between the A18 and A18 variant (v) BoLA haplotypes and between A14 and A15/A15v BoLA haplotypes in Holstein/Friesian cattle. We used pub...

Theileria parva is a protozoan parasite that causes the disease East Coast fever in cattle which results in major economic losses in Eastern, Central and Southern Africa. Efforts to generate vaccines involve measurements of cytotoxic activity since CD8 cells are believed to be responsible for pro...


Wendoh, J.Waihenya, R.Saya, R.Awino, EliasNene, VishvanathSteinaa, Lucilla[Perforin expression in Theileria parva specific Cytotoxic T Cells correlates with Cytotoxicity]Perforin expression in Theileria parva specific Cytotoxic T Cells correlates with Cytotoxicity

T cell responses contribute to immunity against many intracellular infections. There is, for example, strong evidence that major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) play an essential role in mediating immunity to East Coast fever (ECF), a fatal lymph...

As it feeds upon cattle, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is capable of transmitting a number of pathogenic organisms, including the apicomplexan hemoparasite Babesia bovis, a causative agent of bovine babesiosis. The R. microplus female gut transcriptome was studied for two cohorts: adult fem...

Peptide-major histocompatibility complex (p-MHC) class I tetramer complexes have facilitated the early detection and functional characterisation of epitope specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Here, we report on the generation of seven recombinant bovine leukocyte antigens (BoLA) and reco...
