Immunity against the bovine intracellular protozoan parasite Theileria parva has been shown to be mediated through the destruction of parasite infected lymphocytes by MHC class I restricted CD8+ CTL. Six parasite proteins targeted by CTL from T. parva immune cattle have been identified and raised...

Identification of bovine cytotoxic T lymphocyte epitopes on the intracellular parasite Theileria Parva
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...
Theileria parva causes an acute lympho-proliferative disease in cattle, which can result in death of susceptible animals within 2-3 weeks of infection. Analyses of the cellular response in the lymph node draining the site of infection demonstrated an early T cell response, with the appearance of ...
