Abstract excerpt
Partial nucleotide sequences of large subunit ribosomal RNA (LSU rRNA) coding genes of Theileria parva and T. taurotragi were determined. Alignment of the T. parva and T. taurotragi sequences revealed species-specific regions within the LSU rRNA genes. A major species-variable region, located between the first and second conserved secondary structure domains of LSU rRNA, was identified. The sequence of the major...
