Control of tropical theileriosis, caused by the apicomplexan Theileria annulata, depends on the use of a single drug, buparvaquone, the efficacy of which is compromised by the emergence of resistance. The present study was undertaken to improve under... Read More about Genetic characterisation of the Theileria annulata cytochrome b locus and its impact on buparvaquone resistance in bovine.
