Fusion to green fluorescent protein improves expression levels of Theileria parva sporozoite surface antigen p67 in insect cells [PDF]

, 2002
East Coast fever (ECF) is a fatal disease of cattle caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria parva. The development of a subunit vaccine, based on the sporozoite-specific surface antigen p67, has been hampered by difficulties in achieving high-level ...

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.

Characterization of HSP90 isoforms in transformed bovine leukocytes infected with Theileria annulata [PDF]

, 2016
HSP90 chaperones are essential regulators of cellular function, as they ensure the appropriate conformation of multiple key client proteins. Four HSP90 isoforms were identified in the protozoan parasite Theileria annulata.

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.
