Prevalence of tick-transmitted pathogens in cattle reveals that Theileria parva, Babesia bigemina and Anaplasma marginale are endemic in Burundi [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) constitute a major constraint for livestock development in sub-Saharan Africa, with East Coast fever (ECF) being the most devastating TBD of cattle. However, in Burundi, detailed information is lacking on the current

Approaches to vaccination against Theileria parva and Theileria annulata. [PDF]

Parasite Immunol, 2016
SummaryDespite having different cell tropism, the pathogenesis and immunobiology of the diseases caused by Theileria parva and Theileria annulata are remarkably similar. Live vaccines have been available for both parasites for over 40 years, but although they provide strong protection, practical disadvantages have limited their widespread application ...

Isolement de Theileria parva (SAO Hill) et Theileria parva (West Kilimanjaro) et leur immunité croisée avec Theileria parva (Kasoba)

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1994
Deux souches de Theileria parva ont été isolées sur du bétail-témoin pendant des essais d'immunisation sur le terrain contre la theilériose à SAO Hill et West Kilimanjaro, dans les parties Sud et Nord de la Tanzanie respectivement.

Genetic Diversity and Sequence Polymorphism of Two Genes Encoding Theileria parva Antigens Recognized by CD8⁺ T Cells among Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Cattle in Malawi [PDF]

Pathogens, 2020
East Coast fever (ECF) is an acute fatal tick-borne disease of cattle caused by Theileria parva. It causes major losses in exotic and crossbreed cattle, but this could be prevented by a vaccine of T.

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

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 ...

Capture-based enrichment of Theileria parva DNA enables full genome assembly of first buffalo-derived strain and reveals exceptional intra-specific genetic diversity. [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Theileria parva is an economically important, intracellular, tick-transmitted parasite of cattle. A live vaccine against the parasite is effective against challenge from cattle-transmissible T. parva but not against genotypes originating from the African

Molecular characterization of a synthetic neutralizing antibody targeting p67 of Theileria parva. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract The Theileria parva sporozoite surface antigen p67 is a target of the bovine humoral immune response that generates antibodies capable of providing protection against subsequent infection. As a result, p67 has been the subject of efforts aimed at the development of an anti‐sporozoite subunit vaccine.
