Telomere-associated (TA) DNA sequences of the intracellular protozoan parasite Theileria parva were isolated by a novel strategy using a modified version of single-specific-primer polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR). Nucleotide sequences of non-coding TA DNA from three telomeres (6017 bp, 2435 bp...

Theileria are economically important, intra-cellular protozoa, transmitted by ixodid ticks, which infect wild and domestic ruminants. In the mammalian host, parasites infect leukocytes and erythrocytes. In the arthropod vector they develop in gut epithelial cells and salivary glands. All four int...

When compared with other Apicomplexan organisms. Theileria parva has an execptionally small, 10-12 Mbp. genome. There are only 4 chromosomes, each in the Mbp range, and a complete physical map, based on SfiI linking data, is available for each one. A number of genes and cDNAs have been mapped to ...

Theileria are tick-transmitted, haemoprotozoan parasites infecting wild and domestic ungulates throughout many areas of the world. The most economically important species are T. parva and T. annulata which are pathogenic to cattle, and T. lestoquardi (syn hirci) which is pathogenic to sheep and g...

Full-length recombinant versions of p67, the 709 amino acid major surface protein of Theileria parva sporozoites, induce immunity to East Coast fever (ECF) in cattle. We show that a soluble Escherichia coli recombinant version of p67 (p67635), in which a prokaryotic signal peptide replaces the e...

Two recombinant vaccines against Theileria parva, based on a near full-length version of the sporozoite surface antigen p67 (p67635), or an 80 amino acid C-terminal section (p67C), were evaluated by exposure of immunized cattle to natural tick challenge in two sites at the Kenya Coast and one i...

A stage-specific surface antigen of Theileria parva, p67, is the basis for the development of an anti-sporozoite vaccine for the control of East Coast fever (ECF) in cattle. By Pepscan analysis with a series of overlapping synthetic p67 peptides, the antigen was shown to contain five distinct lin...
