Two Theileria parva CD8 T Cell Antigen genes are more variable in buffalo than cattle parasites, but differ in pattern of sequence diversity
Theileria parva causes an acute fatal disease in cattle, but infections are asymptomatic in the African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). Cattle can be immunized against the parasite by infection and treatment, but immunity is partially strain specific. Available data indicate that CD8+ T lymphocyte respon...
