Cattle immunised with a recombinant form of p67, the major surface antigen of Theilleria parva sporozoites, have been shown to be protected against parasite challenge. In an attempt to simplify the immunisation procedure live attenuated Salmonella strains expressing p67 have been constructed and ...

Enhancement of the induction of cytotoxic T-cell responses by immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotides has been described in humans and mouse models. The present study attempted to address whether CpG has a similar effect in cattle. Immunisation of cattle with a recombinant form of the polymor...

The parasite strain specificity of CTL responses to Theileria parva varies among cattle immunized with the same parasite stock. We have investigated the influence of class I MHC on the strain specificity of CTL responses to T. parva in 19 cattle of defined class I phenotype immunized with either ...

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is one of the most important transboundary animal diseases in Africa. In recent years, CBPP has been found in countries like Botswana from where it was previously eradicated (Amanfu et al., 1998). There is growing evidence to indicate that the incidence of...
