Lack of evidence for safe vaccination with the Muguga cocktail in Sudan.

چکیده
This statement is mainly based on the molecular analysis of a genomic locus p104 of Theileria parva, which is known to have only two alleles in all cattle populations analysed so far. The Muguga cocktail is a multicomponent vaccine containing three dominant genotypes (Muguga Kiambu and Serengeti transformed), covering the two-p104 cattle alleles. The unknown allele is probably an atypical amplification result, as the analysis was only based on Restricted Fragment Length Profiles. It is impossible to verify this, as no full amplicon lengths or sequence data are given.

Epidemiological perspectives of ticks and tick-borne diseases in South Sudan: cross-sectional survey results.
A cross-sectional study was conducted between September and October 2010 in five states of South Sudan that were selected on the basis of the perceived risk of tick-borne diseases. The purpose was to investigate epidemiological parameters of tick-borne diseases in South Sudan and their uses in future control strategies. A total of 805 calves were assessed by clinical, microscopic and serologi...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Theileria parva parasites from South Sudan using the PCR-RFLP approach on antigen genes
In an attempt to characterize Theileria parva parasites circulating in South Sudan cattle , polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assays were carried out using four single copy encoding antigen genes p104, PIM, p150 and p67 in addition to one microsatellite MS321. A total of 20 bovine DNA samples from two locations in South Sudan were included in this study, in addition to two references stra...
متن کاملLimited genetic and antigenic diversity within parasite isolates used in a live vaccine against Theileria parva
An infection and treatment protocol is used to vaccinate cattle against Theileria parva infection. Due to incomplete cross-protection between different parasite isolates, a mixture of three isolates, termed the Muguga cocktail, is used for vaccination. While vaccination of cattle in some regions provides high levels of protection, some animals are not protected against challenge with buffalo-de...
متن کاملGenes encoding two Theileria parva antigens recognized by CD8+ T-cells exhibit sequence diversity in South Sudanese cattle populations but the majority of alleles are similar to the Muguga component of the live vaccine cocktail
East Coast fever (ECF), caused by Theileria parva infection, is a frequently fatal disease of cattle in eastern, central and southern Africa, and an emerging disease in South Sudan. Immunization using the infection and treatment method (ITM) is increasingly being used for control in countries affected by ECF, but not yet in South Sudan. It has been reported that CD8+ T-cell lymphocytes specific...
