Vaccines against Theileria parva

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2000
Abstract: Bovine theileriosis caused by Theileria parva continues to be a major economic problem in many parts of Eastern, Southern, and Central Africa. Due to the unsustainable nature of the present control method‐using toxic acaricides to kill ticks‐alternative control methods are being sought.

Current status of nano‐vaccinology in veterinary medicine science

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2294-2308, September 2023., 2023
Nanovaccines are successful because of the enhanced lowest immunotoxicity, antigen stability, better immunogenicity, the flexibility of the physical characteristics of nanomaterials and sustained release. Abstract Vaccination programmes provide a safe, effective and cost‐efficient strategy for maintaining population health.

Investigation of haematological, inflammatory and immunological response in naturally infected cattle with Theileria annulata

Parasite Immunology, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Abstract In this study, we aimed to investigate haematological, pro‐inflammatory, inflammatory, anti‐inflammatory and immunological responses in naturally Theileria annulata‐infected cattle. The study material consisted of 25 Simmental cattle, 2–4 years of age, one of which was a control group consisting of healthy animals (Control group, n = 10), and ...

The African buffalo parasite Theileria. sp. (buffalo) can infect and immortalize cattle leukocytes and encodes divergent orthologues of Theileria parva antigen genes

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
African Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is the wildlife reservoir of multiple species within the apicomplexan protozoan genus Theileria, including Theileria parva which causes East coast fever in cattle.

Longitudinal transcriptome analysis of cattle infected with Theileria parva [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology, 2022
The apicomplexan cattle parasite Theileria parva is a major barrier to improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Africa, killing over one million cattle on the continent each year. Although exotic breeds not native to Africa are highly susceptible to the disease, previous studies have illustrated that such breeds often show innate tolerance ...

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.
