Integrative Genomics Identifies Candidate Genes Underlying Trypanotolerance in Hybrid African Cattle
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 ...

Theileria annulata and T. parva infect and transform different bovine mononuclear cells [PDF]
Bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were labelled with monoclonal antibodies recognizing bovine MHC class II, sIgM, monocyte, T-helper and T-cytotoxic cell phenotypes.

Induction of humoral immune response to multiple recombinant Rhipicephalus appendiculatus antigens and their effect on tick feeding success and pathogen transmission [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is the primary vector of Theileria parva, the etiological agent of East Coast fever (ECF), a devastating disease of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Molecular epidemiology of Theileria parva in the field
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 ...

Modulation of NF-kappaB activation in Theileria annulata-infected cloned cell lines is associated with detection of parasite-dependent IKK signalosomes and disruption of the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
Apicomplexan parasites within the genus <i>Theileria</i> have the ability to induce continuous proliferation and prevent apoptosis of the infected bovine leukocyte.

Organisation and informational content of the Theileria parva genome
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.

Understanding how vector population structure influences pathogen circulation remains a major challenge in tick‐borne disease ecology, particularly in biogeographically transitional regions. Dermacentor reticulatus, a widespread Palearctic tick species and vector of multiple pathogens, provides a useful system to investigate this relationship in a ...
