| phylogenetic analysis of bovine theileria spp. isolated in south india. | the objective of the present study is to determine the phylogenetic position of the theileria organisms in blood of cattle of southern india using molecular tools. theileria annulata (namakkal isolate, tamil nadu) and three theileria field isolates (free of t. annulata) from wayanad, kerala (wayanad 1, 2, 3) were used. the small subunit ribosomal rna (ssu rrna) and major piroplasm surface protein (mpsp) gene products were cloned, sequenced and the phylogenetic tree constructed. ssu rrna gene of ... | 2013 | 23959494 |
| fatal theileria orientalis n2 genotype infection among asian water buffaloes (bubalus bubalis) in a commercial dairy farm in kerala, india. | fifteen dairy buffaloes of a farm in the state of kerala, india developed fatal oriental theileriosis within 2 months of their procurement. typical piroplasms of theileria orientalis were observed in the erythrocytes of all affected animals by giemsa-leishman staining of blood smears. case fatality rate was 87·5% (seven out of eight) in the clinically progressed cases. therapeutic management with anti-theilerial drugs buparvaquone and oxytetracycline led to recovery of seven other animals in les ... | 2016 | 26522773 |
