Polymorphic, multicopy gene families are frequently located in subtelomeric regions of the genomes of parasitic protozoa. Theileria parva telomere-associated (TA) DNA from two chromosomes contained long open reading frames (ORFs) 54% identical at the N-termini whose ends were 2670 and 2680 bp fro...

Theileria are economically important, intra-cellular protozoa, transmitted by ixodid ticks, which infect wild and domestic ruminants. In the mammalian host, parasites infect leukocytes and erythrocytes. In the arthropod vector they develop in gut epithelial cells and salivary glands. All four int...

We have previously reported on characterisation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Theileria parva (1), an intracellular protozoan parasite of cattle (reviewed in (2). The mtDNA encodes ORFs for apocytochrome b and polypeptides I and III and cytochrome oxidase, contains fragmented rRNA genes and exi...

When compared with other Apicomplexan organisms. Theileria parva has an execptionally small, 10-12 Mbp. genome. There are only 4 chromosomes, each in the Mbp range, and a complete physical map, based on SfiI linking data, is available for each one. A number of genes and cDNAs have been mapped to ...

Theileria are tick-transmitted, haemoprotozoan parasites infecting wild and domestic ungulates throughout many areas of the world. The most economically important species are T. parva and T. annulata which are pathogenic to cattle, and T. lestoquardi (syn hirci) which is pathogenic to sheep and g...

Theileria annulata and Theileria parva both poses a major surface antigen on the sporozoite stage of the life-cycle, called SPAG-1 and p67, respectively. In each case, these antigens are vaccine candidates and have been shown to induce a degree of homologous protection in earlier work. These anti...

Field and experimental bovine infection sera were used in immunoblots of sporozoite and schizont lysates of Theileria parva to identify candidate diagnostic antigens. Four parasite antigens of Mr 67,000 (p67), 85,000 (the polymorphic immunodominant molecule, PIM), 104,000 (p104), and 150,000 (p15...

The 'Muguga cocktail' which is composed of three Theileria parva stocks Muguga. Kiambu 5 and Serengeti-transformed has been used extensively for live vaccination against East Coast fever in cattle in eastern, central and southern Africa. Herein we describe the molecular characterization of the T....

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I restricted cellular immune responses play an important role in immunity to intracellular pathogens. By binding antigenic peptides and presenting them to T cells, class I molecules impose significant selection on the targets of immune responses. Candi...
