East Coast fever is an acute, leukemia-like disease of cattle and Cape buffalo that is endemic in eastern, central, and southern Africa, where the disease causes high mortality and losses in livestock production. It is caused by the parasite Theileria parva, which infects bovine lymphocytolysis....
In order to elucidate the mechanism of anemia in Japanese bovine theileriosis, we investigated the oxidative alteration of red blood cells (RBCs) in cattle infected with Theileria sergenti. As an index of RBC oxidation, the levels of 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin-diacetate (DCFH) oxidation and malo...

This paper reviews the past contributions of epidemiology and economics to the control of tick-borne infections of cattle in Africa. The factors affecting successful and unsuccessful control are evaluated on a gographical and on a production systems basis, with particular reference to Theileria p...

This paper presents a summary of the current knowledge on the MHC restriction of Theileria specific cytotoxic T cell responses and indicated how MHC phenotype may influence the parasite strain specificity of the response. The data presented were derived from studies of the response in vivo as wel...
Partial nucleotide sequences of large subunit ribosomal RNA (LSU rRNA) coding genes of Theileria parva and T. taurotragi were determined. Alignment of the T. parva and T. taurotragi sequences revealed species-specific regions within the LSU rRNA genes. A major species variable region, located bet...

Studies of the immune responses of cattle to Theileria parva have provided evidence that immunity to the parasite can operate at two levels, namely the sporozoite and the schizont-infected lymphoblast. Antibodies that neutralize the infectivity of sporozoites have been detected in the serum of hy...
