Fully Phased Population‐Prevalent East African Cattle BoLA‐I Alleles Determined Using PacBio HiFi Long‐Read Sequencing Represent Five Novel Specificities With Distinctive Peptide Binding Potential

HLA, Volume 105, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Due to factors such as lower biosecurity, greater wildlife/farm animal interfaces, and environmental challenges, cattle in sub‐Saharan Africa are exposed to more diverse and intensive bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogen challenges than cattle in Europe and other high‐income regions of the world.

Insights into Theileria transmission-blocking vaccines for East Coast fever control: A disease with an “outdated vaccination approach”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

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 ...

Factors Influencing Iron Levels Among Women of Reproductive Age and Children 6–48 Months in Livestock‐Keeping Communities in Narok County, Kenya

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
Anemia in children was influenced by children age, pastoralism, maternal educational level, children nutritional status especially severe and moderate undernourishment as well as not meeting children dietary diversity. Further, number of people in a household and maternal age significantly influenced anemia in children.

CRISPR/Cas system and its application in the diagnosis of animal infectious diseases

The FASEB Journal, Volume 38, Issue 24, 31 December 2024.
CRISPR‐based diagnostic platforms have transformed the molecular diagnostic field due to their outstanding ultra‐sensitive nucleic acid detecting capabilities. In this review, we highlighted the application of currently available CRISPR integrated setups on the diagnosis of animal infectious diseases.

A Suite of Pathogens Detected in Ticks Sampled From Wildlife Hosts in Central Kenya

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, September 2024.
ABSTRACT Opportunistic sampling of ticks from animals during veterinary treatment offers important insights about wildlife exposure to pathogens. Here, we report pathogens and other tick‐borne organisms detected in ticks sampled from 10 animal species in and near Laikipia County, Kenya, in 2014–2016.

Fusion to green fluorescent protein improves expression levels of Theileria parva sporozoite surface antigen p67 in insect cells [PDF]

, 2002
East Coast fever (ECF) is a fatal disease of cattle caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria parva. The development of a subunit vaccine, based on the sporozoite-specific surface antigen p67, has been hampered by difficulties in achieving high-level ...

Immune functions of C‐type lectins in medical arthropods

Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 652-662, June 2024.
C‐type lectins (CTLs) in mosquito vectors facilitate viral infection. Mosquito CTLs (mosGCTLs) bind to the viral envelope (E) proteins of the West Nile virus (WNV) (A), the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) (B), and the dengue virus (DENV) (c), thus enhancing viral entry into cells via membrane receptors such as mosPTP‐1. Abstract C‐type lectins (CTLs)

Parasite strain specificity of precursor cytotoxic T cells in individual animals correlates with cross-protection in cattle challenged with Theileria parva [PDF]

, 1995
Class I major histocompatibility complex-restricted parasite-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are known to be a major component of the bovine immune response to the protozoan parasite Theileria parva, but formal proof for their role in protection ...
