Item Cell Fusion, using Sendai virus, to Effect Inter-Species Transfer of a Cell-Associated Parasite (Theileria Parva).(1974) Stagg, D.A.; Brown, C.G.D.; Rowes, L.W.; Irvin, A.D.; Kanhal, G.K.; UNDP/FAO Tick-borne Diseases Project: East African Veterinary Research OrganizationThe production of interspecific heterokaryons by virus-induced cell fusion was first performed by Harris & Watkins (1965). Since that time the technique has been widely used in a variety of fields but its application in the field of parasitology has not so far been exploited. We have used the technique to effect inter-species, transfer of an intra-cellular host specific parasite (Theileria parva) the causative organism of East Coast fever of cattle.
