Ticks and Tick-Borne DiseasesInstead 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.

The genomes of three stocks comprising the most widely utilized live sporozoite Theileria parva vaccine exhibit very different degrees and patterns of sequence divergence. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2015 BackgroundThere are no commercially available vaccines against human protozoan parasitic diseases, despite the success of vaccination-induced long-term protection against infectious diseases. East Coast fever, caused by the protist Theileria parva, kills

, 2023 “Theileria parva” (TP), an “apicomplexan parasite” that causes “East Coast Fever” (ECF) in cattle, in Pakistan. East coast fever (ECF) is a disease spread by ticks that is thought to cause at least $300 million in annual economic losses. The production procedure & other facets of the vaccine have not been sufficiently standardised, despite the fact

Genotyping of Theileria parva populations in vaccinated and non-vaccinated cattle in Malawi
Parasitology, 2022 Abstract Theileria parva is an apicomplexan protozoan parasite that causes bovine theileriosis (East Coast Fever; ECF) in central, eastern and southern Africa. In Malawi, ECF is endemic in the northern and central regions where it has negatively affected

The biology of Theileria parva and control of East Coast fever - Current status and future trends.
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2016 Tremendous progress has been made over the last ten years on East Coast fever (ECF) research. Publication of a reference genome sequence of Theileria parva, the causative agent of ECF, has led to a more thorough characterization of the genotypic and ...
