Amino acid sequences of Tp9 alleles obtained from five cloned Theileria parva populations (Muguga 3308, Uganda 3569, Boleni 3198, Marikebuni 3292 and Mariakani 3178) and a variant allele (MC Kiambu 5) detected in the Kiambu component of the Muguga cocktail vaccine. The Muguga 3308 sequence, which is identical to the reference genome sequence, is shown as the reference sequence. Amino acid residues conserved in the other alleles are denoted by dots and deleted regions are denoted by dashes.
