Discovery of a novel species, Theileria haneyi n. sp., infective to equids, highlights exceptional genomic diversity within the genus Theileria: implications for apicomplexan parasite surveillance.
Knowles, DP; Kappmeyer, LS; Haney, D; Herndon, DR; Fry, LM; Munro, JB; Sears, K; Ueti, MW; Wise, LN; Silva, M; Schneider, DA; Grause, J; White, SN; Tretina, K; Bishop, R; Odongo, DO; Pelzel-McCluskey, AM; Scoles, GA; Mealey, RH; Silva, JC (University of Nairobi, 2018)A novel apicomplexan parasite was serendipitously discovered in horses at the United States - Mexico border. Phylogenetic analysis based on 18S rDNA showed the erythrocyte-infective parasite to be related to, but distinct ... -
Induction of humoral immune response to multiple recombinant Rhipicephalus appendiculatus antigens and their effect on tick feeding success and pathogen transmission.
Olds, CL; Mwaura, S; Odongo, DO; Scoles, GA; Bishop, R; Daubenberger, C (University of Nairobi, 2016)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. We hypothesized that a vaccine ...
