Recombinant bovine IFN gamma is a potent inhibitor of Cowdria ruminantium growth in vitro irrespective of the rickettsial stock, or the origin of the endothelial cells. These results suggest an important role for IFN gamma in protective immune responses against C. ruminantium infections. Here we ...

Cattle in Africa are a genetically diverse population that has resulted from successive introduction of Asian Bos indicus and European B. Taurus cattle. However, analysis of mitochondrial genetic diversity in African cattle identified three lineages, one associated with Asian B. indicus, one with...

The review discusses the roles of serum xanthine oxidise serum catalase and trypanosome-specific immune responses in the regulation of the level of trypanosome parasitaemic waves in Cape buffalo. Topics of discussion include non-specific trypanocidal activity in cape buffalo serum; recurrence of ...

Protein components of the cement cone of ixodid ticks are candidates for inclusion in vaccines against tick infestation, since they are essential for tick attachment and feeding. We describe here the cloning of a cDNA encoding a 36 kDa protein, designated Rhipicephalus Immuno-dominant Molecule 36...

Humoral immune responses to schizont antigens from six stocks of Theileria parva were compared by two-dimensional Western blotting using sera from cattle that had been infected with a T. parva stock or a clone. Isoelectric points of a polymorphic immunodominant molecule (PIM) of schizonts that in...
