Longitudinal transcriptome analysis of cattle infected with Theileria parva

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 ...

Isolation of Theileria parva (SAO Hill) and Theileria parva (West Kilimanjaro) and their cross-immunity with Theileria parva (Kasoba).

Revue d'elevage et de medecine veterinaire des pays tropicaux, 1995
Two Theileria parva stocks were isolated from control cattle during East Cost fever (ECF) field immunization trials at SAO Hill and West Kilimanjaro in the southern and northern parts of Tanzania respectively. Both parasite stocks caused severe clinical ECF which required antitheilerial treatment for 3 of the 5 experimentally infected cattle.

Red blood cell volume as a predictor of fatal reactions in cattle infected with Theileria parva Katete

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2007
A comparison of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and packed cell volume (PCV) was made between cattle undergoing lethal and non-lethal reactions following experimental infections with the apicomplexan protozoa, Theileria parva Katete. This work confirmed

Exposure of vaccinated and naive cattle to natural challenge from buffalo-derived Theileria parva

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2015
Integrative management of wildlife and livestock requires a clear understanding of the diseases transmitted between the two populations. The tick-borne protozoan parasite Theileria parva causes two distinct diseases in cattle, East Coast fever and ...

Insights into Theileria transmission-blocking vaccines for East Coast fever control: A disease with an “outdated vaccination approach”

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Instead of using the Infection and Treatment Method (ITM)-based vaccine, is it possible to control East Coast Fever (ECF) through blocking Theileria parva transmission in ticks and cattle? This review pursues this question.

The effects of oxytetracycline onTheileria parva in vitro

Parasitology, 1990
SummaryWhen bovine peripheral blood leucocytes were infected withTheileria parvasporozoites, immediate treatment with oxytetracycline (OTC) inhibited the development of sporozoites to mature schizonts. The extent of inhibition was dependent on drug concentration and duration of treatment.

Le progrès vers un vaccin contre Theileria parva : Pertinence pour la recherche sur la cowdriose

Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 1993
Beaucoup de progrès ont été enregistrés durant les 10 dernières années en ce qui concerne la caractérisation de l'immunité bovine contre Theileria parva. Il n'est plus à démontrer que les bovins devenus immunisés après infection peuvent se débarrasser d'

Generation and characterization of clonedTheileria parvaparasites

Parasitology, 1995
SUMMARYA 3-step procedure for cloningTheileria parvaparasites was developed. The first step involved thein vitroinfection of a fixed number of bovine lymphocytes with titrated sporozoites. The cell lines obtained from infections initiated using sporozoite/lymphocyte ratios below 1:100 were then selected for cloning as these contained schizont-infected ...
