High-resolution genotyping and mapping of recombination and gene conversion in the protozoan Theileria parva using whole genome sequencing [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Theileria parva is a tick-borne protozoan parasite, which causes East Coast Fever, a disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. Like Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite undergoes a transient diploid life-cycle stage in the gut of the arthropod ...

Theileria parva: Attempts at Cultivation
In an earlier paper (1908, pp. 255–257), we gave a full account of a paper by Miyajima (1907) wherein this author described experiments in which he states that he succeeded in cultivating Theileria (Piroplasma) parva. According to Miyajima, he had no difficulty in cultivating the parasite when he added the blood of cattle (containing Theileria) to ...

TparvaDB: a database to support Theileria parva vaccine development [PDF]
We describe the development of TparvaDB, a comprehensive resource to facilitate research towards development of an East Coast fever vaccine, by providing an integrated user-friendly database of all genome and related data currently available for Theileria parva. TparvaDB is based on the Generic Model Organism Database (GMOD) platform.

Maintenance of Theileria parva parva infection in an endemic area of Kenya
SUMMARYThe maintenance of Theileria parva parva infection in an endemic area of Kenya on the shore of Lake Victoria was studied in the field and laboratory. High prevalences of antibodies against T. parva and T. mutans and intra-erythrocytic piroplasms were detected in local zebu (Bos indicus) cattle.
