Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Theileria annulata in Oman
BACKGROUND Theileriosis, caused by a number of species within the genus Theileria, is a common disease of livestock in Oman. It is a major constraint to the development of the livestock industry due to a high rate of morbidity and mortality in both cattle and sheep. Since little is currently known about the genetic diversity of the parasites causing theileriosis in Oman, the present study was d...
متن کاملMolecular surveillance of Theileria ovis, Theileria lestoquardi and Theileria annulata infection in sheep and ixodid ticks in Iran.
A molecular study was undertaken to detect Theileria ovis, Theileria lestoquardi and Theileria annulata in sheep and tick vectors. Investigation was conducted from 2010 to 2011 in the south of Khorasan Razavi Province, Iran. A total of 150 blood samples were collected from 30 different sheep flocks. In addition, ixodid ticks were sampled from the same flocks. The stained blood smears were micro...
متن کاملPopulation diversity of Theileria annulata in Portugal.
The tick-borne protozoan parasite Theileria annulata causes tropical theileriosis, a severe disease of cattle that occurs across the Mediterranean littoral, the Middle East and Southern Asia. In the Mediterranean region, the disease has long been perceived as being a constraint to livestock production in North Africa and Turkey but was believed to have minimal impact in Southern European countr...
متن کاملDetection and Discrimination of Theileria annulata and Theileria lestoquardi by using a Single PCR
The aim of this study was to detect and differentiate Theileria annulata and T. lestoquardi (hirci) by PCR. Members of the genus Theileria are tick-borne hemoprotozoan parasites those cause fatal and enervating diseases of cattle and sheep in Iran . In order to develop a specific method for detecting and identification of Theileria species, specific primers from the surface protein (SP) seque...
متن کاملApproaches to vaccination against Theileria parva and Theileria annulata
Despite having different cell tropism, the pathogenesis and immunobiology of the diseases caused by Theileria parva and Theileria annulata are remarkably similar. Live vaccines have been available for both parasites for over 40 years, but although they provide strong protection, practical disadvantages have limited their widespread application. Efforts to develop alternative vaccines using defi...
