Vet Immunol Immunopathol . 2012 Jan; 145(1-2):340-9. PMID: 22261504
Ehrlichia ruminantium is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen which causes heartwater, a serious tick-borne disease of ruminants throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The development of promising recombinant vaccines has been reported previously,...

Pretorius A, Liebenberg J, Louw E, Collins N, Allsopp B
Vaccine . 2010 Mar; 28(20):3531-9. PMID: 20338214
A previously identified polymorphic Ehrlichia ruminantium gene, Erum2510, was investigated to determine its ability to induce protective immunity in ruminants following two different DNA immunisation strategies; DNA-only and a DNA...

Allsopp B
Onderstepoort J Vet Res . 2009 Dec; 76(1):81-8. PMID: 19967932
Heartwater is an economically serious tick-borne disease of ruminants caused by the intracellular bacterium Ehrlichia ruminantium. The disease has traditionally been controlled by four different approaches: controlling the tick vector...

Zhang L, Hu M, Jones A, Allsopp B, Beveridge I, Schindler A, et al.
Mol Cell Probes . 2007 Jun; 21(5-6):379-85. PMID: 17600673
In the present study, we have extended earlier taxonomic, biochemical and experimental investigations to characterize two species of Taenia from carnivores in Kenya by use of the sequences of a...

Allsopp M, Allsopp B
Vet Microbiol . 2007 Apr; 124(1-2):58-65. PMID: 17459616
The intracellular bacterium Ehrlichia ruminantium is the causative agent of heartwater throughout sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, and some islands of the Caribbean. The disease is tick-borne and causes substantial livestock losses,...
