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 ...

Theileria parva: Attempts at Cultivation
Parasitology, 1909 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]
Database, 2011 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.
