Using haematophagous fly blood meals to study the diversity of blood‐borne pathogens infecting wild mammals

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 22, Issue 8, Page 2915-2927, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Many emerging infectious diseases originate from wild animals, so there is a profound need for surveillance and monitoring of their pathogens. However, the practical difficulty of sample acquisition from wild animals tends to limit the feasibility and effectiveness of such surveys.

Comparative Genome Analysis of Three Eukaryotic Parasites with Differing Abilities To Transform Leukocytes Reveals Key Mediators of Theileria-Induced Leukocyte Transformation

mBio, 2012
We sequenced the genome of Theileria orientalis, a tick-borne apicomplexan protozoan parasite of cattle. The focus of this study was a comparative genome analysis of T. orientalis relative to other highly pathogenic Theileria species, T.

Investigations into the carrier-state of Theileria sp. (buffalo) in cattle

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2020
The Theileria are apicomplexan parasites transmitted by ticks to vertebrate hosts. Most Theileria species exhibit some form of host or vector specificity, since under endemic conditions only a limited number of tick species act as vectors and not all ...

Population genetic analysis and sub-structuring of Theileria parva in the northern and eastern parts of Zambia

Parasites & Vectors, 2012
Background Theileriosis, caused by Theileria parva, is an economically important disease in Africa. It is a major constraint to the development of the livestock industry in some parts of eastern, central and southern Africa.

Leveraging the Medicines for Malaria Venture malaria and pathogen boxes to discover chemical inhibitors of East Coast fever

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2019
Chemotherapy of East Coast fever, a lymphoproliferative cancer-like disease of cattle causing significant economic losses in Africa, is largely dependent on the use of buparvaquone, a drug that was developed in the late 1980's.

A Sporozoite-based vaccine for Theileria parva

Parasitology Today, 1993
East Coast fever, which is caused by Theileria parva infection in cattle, is of major economic importance in eastern and central Africa. Until recently, the only available method of immunization against East Coast fever was the infection with live sporozoites and simultaneous treatment with a long-acting oxytetracycline.

Titrating Theileria parva: Single stocks against combination of stocks [PDF]

Experimental Parasitology, 2008
Theileria parva is the causative agent of East Coast fever (ECF), an important cattle disease in East and Central Africa. One of the methods for control of ECF is 'infection and treatment', a procedure in which an animal is infected with the live parasite and at the same time treated with a long-acting oxytetracycline formulation, restraining the ...

A locus conferring tolerance to Theileria infection in African cattle.

PLoS Genetics, 2022
East Coast fever, a tick-borne cattle disease caused by the Theileria parva parasite, is among the biggest natural killers of cattle in East Africa, leading to over 1 million deaths annually.

First report of Theileria buffeli/Theileria orientalis group and identification of piroplasms via Nested PCR-based RLB Hybridization assay in zebu cattle in the Western Highlands of Cameroon [PDF]

Journal of Zoonotic Diseases, 2021
Piroplasms infections are tick-borne diseases caused by haemoparasite of the genus Theileria or Babesia. They have a great impact on livestock production, especially cattle in sub-Saharan countries.
