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...
We have previously reported on characterisation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Theileria parva (1), an intracellular protozoan parasite of cattle (reviewed in (2). The mtDNA encodes ORFs for apocytochrome b and polypeptides I and III and cytochrome oxidase, contains fragmented rRNA genes and exi...
When compared with other Apicomplexan organisms. Theileria parva has an execptionally small, 10-12 Mbp. genome. There are only 4 chromosomes, each in the Mbp range, and a complete physical map, based on SfiI linking data, is available for each one. A number of genes and cDNAs have been mapped to ...
During its first two years, the African trypanosome genome project, funded in part by the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), has concentrated on three fundamental areas: (1) gene discovery by single-pass sequencing of cDNAs to produce expre...
Although common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is the most important grain legume in the developing world for human consumption, few genomic resources exist for this species. The objectives of this research were to develop expressed sequence tag (EST) resources for common bean and assess nodule gene e...
The pathogenic trypanosomes Trypanosoma vivax and Trypanosoma congolense are transmitted by tsetse and cause trypanosomosis, a debilitating disease affecting livestock in Africa and South America. Here, we discuss the need, relevance and advantage of having the Trypanosoma genomes sequenced, an...
We report the genome sequence of Theileria parva, an apicomplexan pathogen causing economic losses to smallholder farmers in Africa. The parasite chromosomes exhibit limited conservation of gene synteny with Plasmodium falciparum, and its plastid-like genome represents the first example where all...
Heartwater, a tick-borne disease of domestic and wild ruminants, is caused by the intracellular rickettsia Ehrlichia ruminantium (previously known as Cowdria ruminantium). It is a major constraint to livestock production throughout subSaharan Africa, and it threatens to invade the Americas, yet t...
