Corridor disease, caused by the tick-borne protozoan parasite Theileria parva, is a
controlled disease in South Africa. The Cape buffalo is the reservoir host and uninfected …

A real-time PCR assay based on TaqMan probe chemistry was developed for the detection
of Theileria parva DNA in blood samples. It uses a Theileria genus-specific PCR primer set …

An improved Theileria parva DNA detection assay based on the polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) using primers derived from the 104 kDa antigen (p104) gene was developed to detect …

Abstract Theileria parva causes East Coast fever, an economically important disease of
cattle in sub-Saharan Africa. We describe a nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) assay …

Field and experimental bovine infection sera were used in immunoblots of sporozoite and
schizont lysates of Theileria parva to identify candidate diagnostic antigens. Four parasite …

Aim to construct a simple and efficient diagnostic assay for Theileria annulata and Theileria
sergenti, a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed in this study …

Corridor disease is an acute, fatal disease of cattle caused by buffalo-adapted Theileria
parva. This is a nationally controlled disease in South Africa and strict control measures …

Bovine tropical theileriosis caused by Theileria annulata is a tick-borne disease associated
with high morbidity and mortality in the livestock. The conventional method of diagnosis is by …

Two sets of oligonucleotide primers, one derived from a repetitive sequence and the other
from the gene encoding a 67 kDa sporozoite antigen of Theileria parva, were used to …

Buffalo-adapted Theileria parva causes Corridor disease in cattle. Strict control measures
therefore apply to the movement of buffalo in South Africa and include mandatory testing of …
