The gene encoding the 33 kDa piroplasm surface protein of Theileria sergenti isolated in Korea was cloned and the nucleotide sequence was determined by dideoxy chain termination method. The cloned gene corresponds to 869 bp encoding an open reading frame 283 amino acids. Comparison of the sequence between Korean and Japanese isolates showed 99.4% homology rate in the nucleotide sequence and 98.9% homology rate in the amino acid sequence.
