Abstract
A series of projects on Theileria annulata funded by the European Unio n (STD1/STD2/STD3) have provided convincing evidence that macrophage a nd natural killer (NK) cell-dependent immune mechanisms may directly c ontrol the proliferation of different stages of T. annulata in cattle. The evidence for this conclusion and the implications for vaccine dev elopment are discussed in the following paper.
