We describe the generation of an auto-annotated index of genes that are expressed in the salivary glands of four-day fed female adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks. A total of 9162 EST sequences were derived from an uninfected tick cDNA library and 9844 ESTs were from a cDNA library from t...

Genes transcribed in the salivary glands of female Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks infected with Theileria parva
Two recombinant vaccines against Theileria parva, based on a near full-length version of the sporozoite surface antigen p67 (p67635), or an 80 amino acid C-terminal section (p67C), were evaluated by exposure of immunized cattle to natural tick challenge in two sites at the Kenya Coast and one i...

The preparation of Theileria parva stabilates has been described by Cunningham et al (1973). The method is detailed in the FAO report (1978) and the FAO tick and tick-borne Disease Manual (1984). Theileria parva stabilates are a source of viable sporozoites that can be used to immunise cattle by ...

The preparation of a composite stabilate for immunisation against East Coast fever
The current Infection and Treatment Method of vaccination against East Coast fever comprises an inoculation of live Theileria parva sporozoites and simultaneous administration of oxytetracycline. Immunization with a combination of parasite types has been shown to provide broader protection than i...
