The bulk of this 1985 annual report details ILRAD's work since 1980 on two major livestock diseases. Achievements regarding theileriosis included: using monoclonal antibodies to characterize strains of Theileria parva parva and T.p.lawrencei from Kenya and nearby countries; conducting ECF epidemiology studies and "infection and treatment" immunization trials in Kenya; isolating and characterizing sporozoite antigens, which may help improve Theileria vaccine; conducting immunological and biochemical studies to identify schizont-associated antigens; and applying recombinant DNA to build genomic and cDNA libraries for producing antigens. Achievements regarding trypanosomiasis included: developing new techniques to diagnose the disease and determine the origin of tsetse bloodmeals; establishing in vitro culture systems to maintain the three major pathogenic trypanosome species for study; studying the genetic mechanisms underlying antigenic variation in Trypanosoma brucei and T. congolense and the synthesis of variable surface antigens in T. brucei; finding that host responses influence trypanosome differentiation from rapidly dividing to nondividing bloodstream forms and that this d

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
