Molecular Detection and Characterization of Theileria Infecting Wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus) in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Pathogens, 2015
Theileria is a genus of tick-borne protozoan that is globally widespread and infects nearly all ungulates in which they cause either latent infection or lethal disease.

Molecular Investigation of Tick-Borne Haemoparasites Isolated from Indigenous Zebu Cattle in the Tanga Region, Tanzania

Animals, 2022
Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are a major hindrance to livestock production in pastoral communities of Africa. Although information on tick-borne infections is necessary for setting up control measures, this information is limited in the pastoral ...

Integrative Genomics Identifies Candidate Genes Underlying Trypanotolerance in Hybrid African Cattle

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrative genomics combines data from different omics sources to link genotypes and phenotypes with the aim of unravelling biological networks and pathways that undergird complex traits, particularly with respect to disease. In this respect, integrative genomics, leveraging population and functional genomic data, can be employed to ...

East Coast Fever Caused by Theileria parva Is Characterized by Macrophage Activation Associated with Vasculitis and Respiratory Failure.

PLoS ONE, 2016
Respiratory failure and death in East Coast Fever (ECF), a clinical syndrome of African cattle caused by the apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva, has historically been attributed to pulmonary infiltration by infected lymphocytes.

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 ...

Two Decades of Global Research Trends on Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Gene on Farm Animals: Bibliometric Analysis (2001 to 2020)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
In this study, a bibliometric mapping of two decades (2001–2020) of literature on the Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I (MHCI) gene in farm animals was conducted. The analysis revealed that research topics such as ‘Animals’ and ‘Major Histocompatibility Antigen Class I’ were trending, with the USA and UK contributing the highest publication ...

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.

Molecular Prevalence and Phylogenetic Analysis of Theileria ovis and Theileria lestoquardi in Small Ruminants in Siirt Province, Türkiye

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
According to the analysis results, the prevalence of T. ovis was found to be 5.43% in sheep, 4.57% in goats and 5% in total. Theileria lestoquardi was not found in either sheep or goats. ABSTRACT Background Theileriosis is a haemoparasitic disease of domestic and wild ruminants, caused by Theileria species, transmitted by Ixodid tick species ...

Prevalence and Sequence Analysis of Vector‐Borne Zoonotic Diseases in Stray Cats in Istanbul

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
Istanbul, the largest metropolis in Türkiye, is home to a notable population of stray cats. While cats enrich the city's culture, they can also transmit various diseases, posing diagnostic challenges for clinicians. This study aimed to detect infections in stray cats using PCR and sequencing to identify Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Bartonella, Hepatozoon ...
