Bishop, Richard P.Musoke, A.J.Skilton, Robert A.Odongo, D.Scoles, Glen A.Knowles, D.Nene, Vishvanath[Approaches to improved understanding of vector parasite interaction within the genus Theileria and their Ixodid tick vectors]Approaches to improved understanding of vector parasite interaction within the genus Theileria and their Ixodid tick vectors

A cross-sectional survey was carried out in four counties of Jonglei State, South Sudan, between May and June 2012 to determine the distribution and northern limit of Theileria parva, the causative agent of East Coast fever in cattle, and its tick vector Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, as a prerequ...


Marcellino, Wani L.Salih, Diaeldin A.Njahira, Moses N.Ndiwa, Nicholas N.Araba, A.El Hussein, A.M.Seitzer, U.Ahmed, J.S.Bishop, Richard P.Skilton, Robert A.[The Emergence of Theileria parva in Jonglei State, South Sudan: Confirmation using molecular and serological diagnostic tools]The Emergence of Theileria parva in Jonglei State, South Sudan: Confirmation using molecular and serological diagnostic tools

Commercial vaccines based on recombinant forms of the Bm86 tick gut antigen are used to control the southern cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus, a 1-host species, in Australia and Latin America. We describe herein sequence polymorphism in genes encoding Ra86 homologues of Bm86 in the brown ear ...


Kamau, L.M.Skilton, Robert A.Githaka, Naftaly W.Kiara, Henry K.Kabiru, E.Shah, TushaarMusoke, A.J.Bishop, Richard P.[Extensive polymorphism of Ra86 genes in field populations of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus from Kenya]Extensive polymorphism of Ra86 genes in field populations of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus from Kenya

A cross-sectional survey was carried out to characterize the pig production systems in four districts along the Kenya-Uganda border. Information was collected by administering structured questionnaires to 645 households in 32 randomly selected clusters. The study showed that the majority of the f...


Nantima, NoelinaOcaido, M.Davies, J.Dione, Michel M.Okoth, Edward A.Mugisha, A.Bishop, Richard P.[Characterization of smallholder pig production systems in four districts along the Uganda-Kenya border]Characterization of smallholder pig production systems in four districts along the Uganda-Kenya border

There are no commercially available vaccines against human protozoan parasitic diseases, despite the success of vaccination-induced long-term protection against infectious diseases. East Coast fever, caused by the protist Theileria parva, kills one million cattle each year in sub-Saharan Africa, ...


Norling, M.Bishop, Richard P.Pelle, RogerWeihong QiHenson, S.Drábek, E.F.Tretina, K.Odongo, D.Mwaura, S.Njoroge, T.Bongcam-Rudloff, E.Daubenberger, C.A.Silva, J.C.[The genomes of three stocks comprising the most widely utilized live sporozoite Theileria parva vaccine exhibit very different degrees and patterns of sequence divergence]The genomes of three stocks comprising the most widely utilized live sporozoite Theileria parva vaccine exhibit very different degrees and patterns of sequence divergence

Githaka, Naftaly W.Odongo, D.Lekolool, I.Konnai, S.Bishop, Richard P.[Novel Theileria genotypes from wildlife in a Theileria parva—Endemic area in Kenya]Novel Theileria genotypes from wildlife in a Theileria parva—Endemic area in Kenya

Bovine tuberculosis in domestic livestock such as cattle is an economically important disease with zoonotic potential, particularly in countries with emerging economies. We discuss the findings of recent epidemiological and immunological studies conducted in Ethiopia on host susceptibility differ...


Vordermeier, M.Ameni, G.Berg, S.Bishop, Richard P.Robertson, B.D.Aseffa, A.Hewinson, R.G.Young, D.B.[The influence of cattle breed on susceptibility to bovine tuberculosis in Ethiopia]The influence of cattle breed on susceptibility to bovine tuberculosis in Ethiopia

Theileria parva schizont-infected lymphocyte culture isolates from western, central and coastal Kenya were analysed for size polymorphism at 30 T. parva-specific variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci using a panel of mini- and micro-satellite markers. The mean number of alleles ranged from 3 ...


Odongo, David O.Oura, C.A.Spooner, P.R.Kiara, Henry K.Mburu, D.Hanotte, Olivier H.Bishop, Richard P.[Linkage disequilibrium between alleles at highly polymorphic mini- and micro-satellite loci of Theileria parva isolated from cattle in three regions of Kenya]Linkage disequilibrium between alleles at highly polymorphic mini- and micro-satellite loci of Theileria parva isolated from cattle in three regions of Kenya
Bishop, Richard P.Sohanpal, B.K.Morzaria, S.P.Dolan, T.T.Mwakima, F.N.Young, A.S.[Discrimination between Theileria parva and Theileria taurotragi in the salivary glands of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks using oligonucleotides homologous to ribosomal RNA sequences]Discrimination between Theileria parva and Theileria taurotragi in the salivary glands of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks using oligonucleotides homologous to ribosomal RNA sequences

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...
