In 1 experiment, groups of cattle were immunized using chemoprophylaxis or therapy against T. parva (Muguga), and were challenged with 5 recently-isolated strains of Theileria. Two of the strains caused mild or inapparent reactions in the immunized animals, and 3 caused significant reactions. None of 25 immunized animals died on challenge; 22 of 25 susceptible (non-immunized) animals died. In a 2nd experiment, groups of cattle were immunized against 5 field strains using chemoprophylaxis. They had minimal reactions and were solidly immune to isologous challenge and to subsequent challenge with T. parva (Muguga). This demonstrated that cattle could be effectively immunized against lethal challenge with several theilerial strains by inoculating them with 1 ml of an infective stabilate of the appropriate strain and the concomitant daily inoculation of 5 mg/kg of a formulation of oxytetracycline on 4 consecutive days starting on the day of infection. T. parva (Muguga) may be a valuable component of a polyvalent East Coast fever (ECF) vaccine in E Africa.
