| an indirect elisa for detection of theileria spp. antibodies using a recombinant protein (rtlsp) from theileria luwenshuni. | theileria is a tick-borne, intracellular protozoan parasite of worldwide economic and veterinary importance in small ruminants. here, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was developed based on theileria luwenshuni recombinant surface protein (rtlsp) and was used in the standardization and validation of an elisa for the detection of circulating antibodies against ovine and caprine theileriosis. a total of 233 sera samples were used for the calculation of the cut-off value which served as ... | 2016 | 27048941 |
| report of theileria luwenshuni and theileria sp. rsr from cervids in gansu, china. | theileria parasites are important tick-borne pathogens of animals and cause huge economic losses worldwide. here, we undertook to assess the prevalence of theileria spp. in cervids in gansu, china, based on pcr analysis and sequencing of the 18s rrna genes. molecular survey showed that theileria luwenshuni and theileria sp. rsr were frequently found in gansu cervids, and the prevalence of t. luwenshuni was 66.7% (n = 9, 6/9) in roe deer in zhengning county, 58.3% (n = 12, 7/12) in sika deer in n ... | 2015 | 25820647 |
