| A fragment of a novel gene, designated as the BboP67 gene, of Babesia bovis, which had been recently reported as a homolog of the gene encoding a sporozoite-specific P67 antigen of Theileria parva, was isolated from the genomic DNA of B. bovis and expressed as a recombinant (rBboP67) in E. coli. The antigenicity of rBboP67 was evaluated using 102 and 68 field serum samples collected from cattle in Ghana and Mongolia, respectively. All of the B. bovis- and B. bigemina-infected sera, which had been identified by the species-specific antigens, rRAP-1/CTs, for B. bovis and B. bigemina in the standard ELISA, positively reacted with the rBboP67 in ELISA. While B. bovis-infected field serum samples recognized the rBboP67 in Western blot analysis, sera collected... |

| We have developed two loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assays for the detection of Theileria parva, the causative agent of East Coast fever (ECF), an economically important cattle disease in eastern, central and southern Africa. These assays target the polymorphic immunodominant molecule (PIM) and p150 LAMP genes. The primer set for each gene target consists of six primers, and each set recognises eight distinct regions on the target gene to give highly specific detection of T. parva. The detection limit of each primer set is 1 fg, which is equivalent to one copy of the PIM and p150 T. parva genes. These PIM and p150 LAMP primer sets amplify DNA of T. parva isolates from cattle and buffalo from different countries including Kenya, South... |

| ABSTRACT The apicomplexan parasite Theileria parva, the causative agent of ECF, is an important pathogen affecting both domestic and wild animals, causing major economic losses in the world. Problems such as high cost of drugs, development of resistance, and absence of effective vaccines prevent effective combating of the pathogen. Thus, it is necessary to explore new targets for affordable and higher therapeutic value drugs. 1-Deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) in the non-mevalonate isoprene biosynthesis pathway is vital to the organism and therefore has been selected as a target for developing antitheilerial drugs. In this study, the 3D structure of TpDXR was identified by template-based in silico homology modelling method, the... |
