Absolute Quantification of the Host-To-Parasite DNA Ratio in Theileria parva-Infected Lymphocyte Cell Lines. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Theileria parva is a tick-transmitted intracellular apicomplexan pathogen of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa that causes East Coast fever (ECF). ECF is an acute fatal disease that kills over one million cattle annually, imposing a tremendous burden on ...

Molecular epidemiology of Theileria parva in the field
Tropical Medicine & International Health, 1999 Summary Molecular tools based on seminested RFLP‐PCR techniques to characterize field parasites in bloodspots dried on filter paper permitted investigation of the extent and the dynamics of diversity of Theileria parva populations in the field. Parallel molecular studies explored the long‐term genome stability of various isolates by probing Southern ...

Organisation and informational content of the Theileria parva genome
Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 1998 When compared with other Apicomplexan organisms, Theileria parva has an exceptionally small, 10-12 Mbp, genome. There are only 4 chromosomes, each in the Mbp range, and a complete physical map, based on SfiI linking data, is available for each one. A number of genes and cDNAs have been mapped to specific SfiI fragments.

The genome of Theileria parva: some structural properties
FEBS Letters, 1984 The DNA of the protozoan Theileria parva, the causal agent of the bovine East Coast Fever, has been prepared at least 99% pure from the intra‐erythrocytic form of the parasite. Its buoyant density was found to be 1.696 g/cm3 and its calculated G + C content was 36.7%. Fragmentation of T.
