Comparison of the in vitro infectivity of different strains of Theileria parva in the Muguga cocktail vaccine

Parasitology
Theileria parva, a protozoan parasite, is the causative agent of East Coast fever (ECF), an economically important disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. The Muguga cocktail vaccine which comprises 3 T.

Insights into Theileria transmission-blocking vaccines for East Coast fever control: A disease with an “outdated vaccination approach”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

Molecular epidemiology of Theileria parva in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo: Implications to the introduction of the Muguga Cocktail vaccine for East Coast Fever

Abstract East Coast Fever (ECF) is one of the most economically important tick-borne diseases of cattle in Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa, caused by the intracellular protozoan parasiteTheileria parva(T. parva). This study investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity ofT. parvapopulations in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to
