Four different types of arcelin, a protein that plays an important role in resistance to bruchids such as Zabrotes subfasciatus, were identified in wild accessions of Phaseolus vulgaris. Isogenic lines with cultivated black- (Porrillo 70) and white- (Sanilac) seeded parents were obtained by norma...

The effect of Acacia angustissima on rumen fermentation was evaluated. Acacia angustissima was fed to two groups of cannulated Ethiopian highland sheeOne group (three animals) was directly supplemented with 300 g per head day-1 of sun-dried A. angustissima. These animals died after 9 and 21 days ...

A series of trials were conducted to study the effect of either nitrogen source or supply pattern on the growth, rumen fermentation pattern and utilisation of straw by Ethiopian Menz sheeAll experimental sheep were given teff straw basal diet (CON). Irrespective of the trial, treatment sheep were...

Three accessions of Sesbania sesban (10865, 15019 and 15036) and one accession of Sesbania goetzei (15007) were used as protein supplements for rams fed maize (Zea mays) stover in a growth trial and a digestion trial which investigated the effects of proanthocyanidins (PAs) on protein digestion. ...

Polymorphic, multicopy gene families are frequently located in subtelomeric regions of the genomes of parasitic protozoa. Theileria parva telomere-associated (TA) DNA from two chromosomes contained long open reading frames (ORFs) 54% identical at the N-termini whose ends were 2670 and 2680 bp fro...

East coast fever (ECF) is a major tick-borne disease caused by the apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva (1). ECF is an acute leukemia-like disease of cattle that is endemic in eastern, central and souther Africa, where it is responsible for significant mortality and losses in animal production. ...

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...

Ixodid ticks manipulate mammalian host pathways by secreting molecules from salivary glands. Novel cDNAs containing functional secretion signals were isolated from ixodid tick salivary glands using a signal sequence trap. Only 15/61 Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and 1/7 Amblyomma variegatum cDNAs ...
