The genome of Theileria parva: some structural properties
FEBS Letters, 1984 The DNA of the protozoan Theileria parva, the causal agent of the bovine East Coast Fever, has been prepared at least 99% pure from the intra‐erythrocytic form of the parasite. Its buoyant density was found to be 1.696 g/cm3 and its calculated G + C content was 36.7%. Fragmentation of T.

Lymphocytes and macrophages are infected by Theileria equi, but T cells and B cells are not required to establish infection in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Theileria equi has a biphasic life cycle in horses, with a period of intraleukocyte development followed by patent erythrocytic parasitemia that causes acute and sometimes fatal hemolytic disease. Unlike Theileria spp. that infect cattle (Theileria parva
