Initial comparison of 2 polymorphic, immunodominant molecule (PIM) cDNA sequences from Theileria parva suggested that the PIM genes consist of conserved 5' and 3' termini flanking a central variable region. Further evidence is presented, based on sequence analysis, supporting this general structu...

Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are a major economic constraint to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. ILRI is focussing on developing a range of products, such as vaccines, diagnostics and decision support services to underpin improved control programmes against these diseases. We have develo...

Recent advances in genomic technology have focused many veterinary researchers on the possibility of producing one multivalent recombinant vaccine against all the haemoparasites that infect cattle in the tropics. Before such a vaccine is developed it is essential to define target cattle popula...
