Molecular epidemiology of <i>Theileria parva</i> in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo: Implications to the introduction of the Muguga Cocktail vaccine for East Coast Fever

2025-05-08

Abstract excerpt

East Coast Fever (ECF) is one of the most economically important tick-borne diseases of cattle in Eastern, Central, and Southern Africa, caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite Theileria parva ( T. parva ). This study investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity of T. parva populations in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to inform immunization strategies against ECF. By employing PCR a...
