T. Matsuba et al., CHANGES IN THE HYBRIDIZATION PATTERNS OF POPULATIONS OF THEILERIA-SERGENTI DURING INFECTION, Veterinary parasitology, 47(3-4), 1993, pp. 215-223
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of Theileria sergent
i DNA were analysed using probes of a genomic DNA fragment (pTs 2) and
a cDNA corresponding to this genomic probe (C-Ts 2). Each of the prob
es detected RFLPs in DNA from different stocks of Theileria sergenti.
Additionally, using these probes, alterations in hybridization pattern
s were observed in samples of the parasites harvested at different tim
es after individual calves had been infected with Theileria sergenti.
This result suggests that the Theileria sergenti stocks used were mixe
d parasite populations.
