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...

Theileria: Improved species discrimination using oligonucleotide derived from large subunit ribosomal RNA sequences
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) caused by different protozoan and rickettsial species occur all over the world but their greatest impact is in the tropics and subtropics where they cause huge losses mainly in improved breeds of cattle. The economically important tick-transmitted diseases of cattle are...

Monitoring the efficacy of immunisation against theileriosis caused by Theileria parva
Two Theileria species of cattle, T. parva and T. annulata are amongst the most highly pathogenic protozoan parasites of mammals, causing over 90 percent mortality in susceptible Bos taurus types of cattle. This paper discusses and presents the losses due to East Coast Fever and theileriosis, main...
