Research from the Network featured during the first joint conference of the Association of Institutions for Tropical Veterinary Medicine and the Society of Tropical Veterinary Medicine held in Berlin, Germany on 4-8 September 2016 (www.aitvm-stvm2016.com).
The conference brought together over 280 scientists from 55 different countries to present their latest research on a variety of topics including zoonotic diseases, food safety, animal production, genetics, vaccine development, capacity building and animal welfare.
Below is a list of oral and poster presentations from the ‘Molecular epidemiology network for promotion and support of delivery of live vaccines against Theileria parva and Theileria annulata infection in Eastern and Northern Africa’ project’s work in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Tunisia, Egypt and Sudan.
Oral presentations
The next joint AITVM/STVM conference will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2018.

Oral presentations
- Identification and characterization of potential attenuation markers of Theileria annulata live vaccines: Involvement of histone deacetylases in differentiation and attenuation of T. annulata.
- The Role of Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) in the transformation of Theileria annulata-infected cells and the parasite stage differentiation.
- Carrier state and persistence of Theileria parva vaccine (Muguga) components in cattle in a livestock-wildlife interface area of northern Tanzania.
- Neutral and adaptive genetic diversity in field isolates of Theileria parva derived from Ankole cattle in southwestern Uganda: Implications for the deployment of the live vaccine in Uganda.
- Recombinant vaccine development for Theileria parva control based on induction of protective CD8+ T cells: constraints imposed by class I MHC diversity.
- An epidemiological study on tick-borne hemoparasites of cattle from four contrasting agroecological zones in Kenya.
- Epidemiological studies on Bovine Theileriosis in the Egyptian Oases.
- Tams-1 Sequence diversity in Theileria annulata: The effect of vaccination with live vaccine on parasite diversity.
- Theileria equi: L-cysteine replaces low oxygen conditions during in vitro culture initiation.
- Polymorphisms of selected antigen genes of Theileria parva isolates from cattle in southwestern Uganda.
- Genetic study for Tunisian Theileria annulata strains.
- Prevalence of ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and Theileria lestoquardi antibodies in sheep and goats in Khartoum State, Sudan.
- Prevalence of ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and Theileria annulata infection in cattle in Gezira State, Sudan.
