The Theileria parva Genome Database

TIGR and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Nairobi, Kenya have sequenced the genome of Theileria parva, the causative agent of East Coast fever in cattle. The T. parva nuclear genome consists of 4 chromosomes and is approximately 8.3 Mb in length. The 39.5 kbp apicoplast genome sequence was also determined.

This whole genome shotgun project has been deposited at GenBank/EMBL/DDNJ under the project accession AAGK00000000

Sequencing of the T. parva genome was supported by the TIGR Board of Trustees, ILRI, and J. Craig Venter. Additional support was provided by the U.K. Department for International Development, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Rockefeller Foundation.
