Immunity against Theileria parva in cattle is mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (eTL) targeted at schizont-infected cells. Antigens expressed by the schizont stage of the parasite that induce protective immune response are possible candidates for sub-unit vaccine against ECF. Upon recognition a...
