The relative DNA levels of different development stages of Theileria annulata and T. parva in the cow and the tick were measured by the cytophotometric DNA technique using the fluorochrome Hoechst 33258 as a staining dye. The results revealed that sporozoites, merozoites, gamonts, and gametes wer...

Theileria parva is the causal agent of East Coast fever (ECF), a fatal disease of cattle characterized by pyrexia, transient lymphadenopathy and panleukopenia. We have evaluated monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against three distinct antigens (p67, PIM and p32) of the parasite as immunohistological re...

Immunohistochemical detection of parasite antigens in Theileria parva-infected bovine lymphocytes
Improvement of the livestock industry in many developing countries has been severely constrained by tick-borne diseases. The major protozoan pathogens responsible for these diseases in cattle are Theileria parva and B. annulata and Babesia bigemina and B. bovis. East Coast fever is of great econo...

The primary goals of applying molecular tools, developed at ILRI in conjunction with the use of infection and treatment immunisation are quality control of vaccines; monitoring of possible vaccine breakthrough and breakdown; and assessment of the impact of introducing new parasite types on long-t...
