Previous data showed that six out of a group of nine cattle inoculated with NS1-p67, a recombinant form of a 67-KDa Theileria parva sporozoite surface protein, were immune to East Coast fever. This bacterialy expressed antigen encoded all 709 amino acid residues of p67 fused to the C-terminal end...

Initial laboratory trials of an experimental subunit vaccine against Theileria parva based on the 67-kDa major sporozoite surface antigen revealed a range of responses to challenge. We have analyzed convergence in seven sets of monozygotic twins which suggests that genetic factors may have an i...

To define Babesia bigemina-specific antigens on the surface of infected erythrocytes, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were identified by live-cell immunofluorescence. As determined by live-cell immunofluorescence, two MAbs made to the Mexico strain reacted with the Mexico strain and three Kenya stra...

The p67 sporozoite antigen of Theileria parva has been fused to the C-terminal secretion signal of Escherichia coli hemolysin and expressed in secreted form by attenuated Salmonella dublin areA strain SL5631. The recombinant p67 antigen was detected in the supernatant of transformed bacterial cul...

Immunity to Theileria parva infection in cattle is often parasite stock specific. The antigenic diversity which is expressed at the schizont stage of the parasite together with a wild reservoir of the organism in buffalo has complicated the development of effective disease control by immunization...
