Genetic and antigenic variation of the bovine tick-borne pathogen Theileria parva in the Great Lakes region of Central Africa

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Theileria parva causes East Coast fever (ECF), one of the most economically important tick-borne diseases of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. A live immunisation approach using the infection and treatment method (ITM) provides a strong long-term ...

An experimental study of East Coast fever in Ugand II. The durability of immunity in East Coast fever

Parasitology, 1950
Confusion exists as to whether the immunity produced by one attack of East Coast fever is absolute or whether it requires to be maintained by reinfection.During the present experiments mild transient infections have been produced in six calves, and in five cases the immunity has been incomplete and second attacks have followed reinfestation by infected

Insights into Theileria transmission-blocking vaccines for East Coast fever control: A disease with an “outdated vaccination approach”

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Instead of using the Infection and Treatment Method (ITM)-based vaccine, is it possible to control East Coast Fever (ECF) through blocking Theileria parva transmission in ticks and cattle? This review pursues this question.

Imunizacija teladi protiv East Coast fever bez davanja lijekova.

Veterinarski arhiv, 1999
A mild Theileria parva stock (T. parva Lanet, Kenya) was used for vaccination of calves prior to a lethal challenge with a heterologous stock (T. parva Marikebuni, Kenya). Although vaccination did not produce an important parasitaemia in the calves, high levels of antibodies were observed using an immuno-fluorescent assay test.
