Abstract excerpt
Theileria sergenti Shintoku stock consists of 2 parasite populations bearing 2 allelic forms of p33/32, an immunodominant piroplasm surface protein. Parasite population changes during parasite passages among cattle and tick vectors, and during persistent infection in individual calves were analysed by using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The parasite DNAs were prepared from piroplasms from...
