East coast fever (ECF) is a major tick-borne disease caused by the apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva (1). ECF is an acute leukemia-like disease of cattle that is endemic in eastern, central and souther Africa, where it is responsible for significant mortality and losses in animal production. ...

The protozoan parasite Theileria parva infects and transforms bovine lymphocytes, giving rise to a fatal lympho-proliferative condition known as East Coast fever. Although immune cattle mount strong cytolytic T. lymphocyte responses to the parasite, naive animals appear unable to respond and deve...

There is growing evidence that immunity of cattle to Cowdria ruminantium infection is mediated by T lymphocytes. C. ruminantium antigens that stimulate these responses are therefore of considerable importance to the development of a sub-unit vaccine against the disease. We have examined T cell re...

Enhancement of the induction of cytotoxic T-cell responses by immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotides has been described in humans and mouse models. The present study attempted to address whether CpG has a similar effect in cattle. Immunisation of cattle with a recombinant form of the polymor...

Theileria parva is the causal agent of East Coast fever (ECF), a fatal disease of cattle characterized by pyrexia, transient lymphadenopathy and panleukopenia. We have evaluated monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against three distinct antigens (p67, PIM and p32) of the parasite as immunohistological re...

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are ubiquious cell surface molecules involved in the cell-mediated immune response. We show here, using a number of different, independent approaches, that these proteins are an essential component of the host cell surface receptor invo...

Hematological parameters were studied in 163 apparently healthy goats comprised of 3 indigenous breeds at Adami-Tulu Agricultural Research Centre (ATARC) and Sheno, Agricultural Research Centre (SARC), Ethiopia. Data were analyzed for the effect of breed, sex, age, and season. Hemoglobin (Hb) was...
