Antigenic diversity in Theileria parva populations from sympatric cattle and African buffalo analyzed using long read sequencing by Allan, F.K., Jayaraman, S., Paxton, E., Sindoya, E., Kibona, T., Fyumagwa, R., Mramba, F., Torr, S.J., Hemmink, Johanneke D., Toye, Philip G., Lembo, T., Handel, Ian G., Auty, H.K., Morrison, W. Ivan, Morrison, Liam J.

“…East Coast fever (ECF) in cattle is caused by the Apicomplexan protozoan parasite Theileria parva, transmitted by the three-host tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus. The African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is the natural host for T. parva but does not suffer disease, whereas ECF is often fatal in cattle. …”
