Evaluation of T cell recognition of theileria parva homologs of apicomplexan antigens.
East Coast fever is a severe lymphoproliferative disease of cattle caused by the intracellular protozoan Theileriaparva from the family Apicomplexa, CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) mediated destruction of parasite infected lymphocytes constitutes the dominant protective immune response following e...
