A panel of microsatellite and minisatellite markers for the characterisation of field isolates of Theileria parva
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2003)Mini- and microsatellite sequences show high levels of variation and therefore provide excellent tools for both the genotyping and population genetic analysis of parasites. Herein we describe the identification of a panel ... -
Linkage disequilibrium between alleles at highly polymorphic mini- and micro-satellite loci of Theileria parva isolated from cattle in three regions of Kenya
(College of Biological and Physical Sciences ,Department of Biological Science, 2006)Theileria parva schizont-infected lymphocyte culture isolates from western, central and coastal Kenya were analysed for size polymorphism at 30 T. parva-specific variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci using a panel of ... -
