Minisatellite tandem repeat elements are well known components of vertebrate genomes, but have not yet been extensively characterized in lower eukaryotes. We describe two unusual. AT-rich minisatellites of the protozoan parasite Theileria parva whose sequences are unrelated to the G/C-rich `chi m...

Telomere-associated (TA) DNA sequences of the intracellular protozoan parasite Theileria parva were isolated by a novel strategy using a modified version of single-specific-primer polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR). Nucleotide sequences of non-coding TA DNA from three telomeres (6017 bp, 2435 bp...

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...

T cells bearing the gamma delta antigen receptor (gamma delta T cells) can constitute up to 50 percent of T cells in the peripheral blood and lymphoid organs of young cattle. We present data showing that gamma delta T cells are involved in immune responses against Theileria parva. Gamma delta T c...

A hybridoma cell line has been previously produced which secretes monoclonal antibodies that neutralize sporozoites of T. parva. Cells from this line were injected i/p into pristane-treated BALB/c mice. During the last 4 days of hybridoma cell growth, mice were given 4 daily i/p injections of a m...

Current vaccines for bovine hemoparasites utilize live attenuated organisms or virulent organisms administered concurrently with antiparasitic drugs. Although such vaccines can be effective, for most hemoparasites the mechanisms of acuquired resistance to challenge infection with heterologous par...
