“…(). One solution to this constraint is that production and delivery (which is currently a commercial enterprise) should be subsidized by major development agencies and donors such as FAO, as was the case in the eradication of rinderpest through live vaccination (Njeumi et al., ).…”

The infection and treatment (ITM) live vaccination method for control of Theileria parva infection in cattle is increasingly being adopted, particularly in Maasai pastoralist systems. Several studies indicate positive impacts on human livelihoods. Importantly, the first detailed protocol for live vaccine production at scale has recently been published. However, quality control and delivery issues constrain vaccination sustainability and deployment. There is evidence that the distribution of T. parva is spreading from endemic areas in East Africa, North into Southern Sudan and West into Cameroon, probably as a result of anthropogenic movement of cattle. It has also recently been demonstrated that in Kenya, T. parva derived from cape buffalo can ‘breakthrough’ the immunity induced by ITM. However, in Tanzania, breakthrough has not been reported in areas where cattle co‐graze with buffalo. It has been confirmed that buffalo in northern Uganda national parks are not infected with T. parva and R. appendiculatus appears to be absent, raising issues regarding vector distribution. Recently, there have been multiple field population genetic studies using variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) sequences and sequencing of antigen genes encoding targets of CD8+ T‐cell responses. The VNTR markers generally reveal high levels of diversity. The antigen gene sequences present within the trivalent Muguga cocktail are relatively conserved among cattle transmissible T. parva populations. By contrast, greater genetic diversity is present in antigen genes from T. parva of buffalo origin. There is also evidence from several studies for transmission of components of stocks present within the Muguga cocktail, into field ticks and cattle following induction of a carrier state by immunization. In the short term, this may increase live vaccine effectiveness, through a more homogeneous challenge, but the long‐term consequences are unknown.

“…McLeod and Rushton (2007) mentioned the possibility of eradication of a specific disease by international vaccination campaigns as a second reason to vaccinate. This approach has been successful in the case of rinderpest, a viral disease of cattle, which was officially declared eradicated in 2011 (Njeumi et al, 2012). Other national or international campaigns are often initiated to reduce risks of transmission of zoonotic diseases to humans, for example, rabies and Brucella abortus, but these campaigns have not led to the global eradication of the diseases.…”

“…On 28 June 2011, during the official celebration of the eradication of the disease, Peter Doherty, Nobel Prize for medicine in 1996, recalled the importance of such an event, much farther than just an animal health topic. It is, indeed, a disease of domestic cattle, but its history is far from being negligible for humankind [6].…”
