Two distinct genes encoding single domain, ATP-binding cassette transport protein homologues of Theileria parva were cloned and sequenced. Neither of the genes is tandemly duplicated. One gene, TpABCI, encodes a predicted protein of 593 amino acids with an N-terminal hydrophobic domain containing...
There is growing evidence that immunity of cattle to Cowdria ruminantium infection is mediated by T lymphocytes. C. ruminantium antigens that stimulate these responses are therefore of considerable importance to the development of a sub-unit vaccine against the disease. We have examined T cell re...
Ribosomal RNA genes have been cloned from the major species of African trypanosomes. Complete nucleotide sequence composition of the small subunit (SSU) and portions of the large subunit (LSU) ribosomal RNA genes was determined for each of these trypanosome species. In contrast to the situation i...
Cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) threatens food and economic security for smallholder farmers throughout East and Central Africa, and poses a threat to cassava production in West Africa. CBSD is caused by two whitefly-transmitted virus species: Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cas...
BACKGROUND. RNA interference (RNAi) technology can potentially serve as a suitable strategy to control the African sweet potato weevil Cylas puncticollis (SPW), which is a critical pest in sub-Saharan Africa. Important prerequisites are required to use RNAi in pest control, such as the presence o...
The nucleotide sequences of the large subunit ribosomal RNA coding genes within the two single copy ribosomal DNA transcription units of a cloned Theileria parva isolate from a buffalo were determined. The two LSU rRNA coding units differed by 11 nucleotide substitutions and two deletions of 1 an...
Procyclic Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense have a cell death mechanism which can be activated by an external signal, the lectin ConA, in vitro. ConA has been shown to cause profound changes in cellular morphology and induce fragmentation of nuclear DNA in T.b. rhodesiense which are characteristic o...
In this paper I argue for building dialogues between scientific and Maasai knowledge articulations, utilizing knowledge of wildebeest as an example. By locating Maasai and scientific knowledges regarding a particular subject (wildebeest) in relation to each other-in discourse and in practice-my i...
