Abstract excerpt
Tams1, the major merozoite/piroplasm surface antigen of Theileria annulata has the potential to be a component of a diagnostic ELISA test and be included in a recombinant subunit vaccine. However, the observation that this antigen displays diversity could constrain these applications. In this pap...
