Abstract

Small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene nucleotide sequences of bovine Theileria isolates from Korea (KLS and KCB) and Japan (JHS) were determined. The genes from each isolate were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and the approximately 1.8 kb product cloned and sequenced by a modified dideoxynucleotide method. Overlapping gene segments produced with a series of primers were sequenced, resulting in a complete DNA sequence for both forward and reverse strands of the SSU rRNA genes of each isolate. SSU rRNA gene sequences (termed Type A) were identical among the bovine Theileria isolates from Korea and the isolate from Japan. A GenBank data library homology search showed the sequence to be the same as that listed as Theileria buffeli isolated from cattle in Marula, Kenya.
