Summary: | Theileria
infected cell line was isolated from the prescapular lymph node of an adult crossbred cow. Molecular study confirmed this cell line of bovine lymphocyte has been transformed by the
Theileria lestoquardi.
This strain of
T. lestoquardi
designated Ka-6 and sheep were inoculated with this strain didn’t show any clinical signs of theileriosis which shows the significance of this cell line to develop a tissue-culture vaccine against malignant ovine theileriosis. Contrary to accepted belief that the
T. lestoquardi
not capable of causing disease in cattle, the present study describes the first isolation and establishment of in vitro culture of
T. lestoquardi
-infected cell line from a naturally infected cow with typical singes of acute theileriosis. |
