An infection and treatment protocol is used to vaccinate cattle against Theileria parva infection. Due to incomplete cross-protection between different parasite isolates, a mixture of three isolates, termed the Muguga cocktail, is used for vaccination. While vaccination of cattle in some regions ...

Recombinant bovine IFN gamma is a potent inhibitor of Cowdria ruminantium growth in vitro irrespective of the rickettsial stock, or the origin of the endothelial cells. These results suggest an important role for IFN gamma in protective immune responses against C. ruminantium infections. Here we ...

Dendritic cells (DC) constitute the most effective immune cell population for priming and recalling T cell responses to foreign antigens. DC patrol the peripheral tissues collecting foreign antigen for subsequent presentation by classical class II MHC molecules to T cells in the draining lymph no...

However, analysis of class I cDNA sequences has failed to produce conclusive evidence concerning the number and nature ...

However, analysis of mitochondrial genetic diversity in African cattle identified three lineages, one associated with Asian B. indicus, one with...

Although immunodominance of CD8+ T-cell responses is a well-recognised feature of viral infections, its role in responses to more antigenically complex pathogens is less clear. In previous studies we have observed that CD8+ T-cell responses to Theileria parva exhibit different patterns of parasit...
