Highly syntenic and yet divergent: a tale of two Theilerias [PDF]
, 2009 The published genomic sequences of the two major host-transforming Theileria species of cattle represent a rich resource of information that has allowed novel bioinformatic and experimental studies into these important apicomplexan parasites. Since their

Expression analysis of the Theileria parva subtelomere-encoded variable secreted protein gene family. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The intracellular protozoan parasite Theileria parva transforms bovine lymphocytes inducing uncontrolled proliferation. Proteins released from the parasite are assumed to contribute to phenotypic changes of the host cell and parasite persistence. With 85

Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research, 2004 A population-based study was carried out on the Ankole ranching scheme in south-west Uganda with the aim of determining the endemic status of Theileria parva infections. For this purpose, the age-related sero-prevalence of T.

TGF-b2 induction regulates invasiveness of theileria-transformed leukocytes and disease susceptibility [PDF]
, 2010 Theileria parasites invade and transform bovine leukocytes causing either East Coast fever (T. parva), or tropical theileriosis (T. annulata). Susceptible animals usually die within weeks of infection, but indigenous infected cattle show markedly reduced

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Despite their evolutionary relatedness to malaria parasites that infect humans, wildlife Plasmodium—particularly those that infect birds and lizards—are understudied, leaving their vast genetic diversity to be explored. By assembling parasite transcriptomes from Plasmodium‐infected lizard blood, we provide the first evidence that lizard‐infective ...

Pathogenicity of Theileria parva is influenced by the host cell type infected by the parasite [PDF]
, 1996 Theileria parva has been shown to infect and transform B cells and T cells at similar frequencies in vitro. However, the majority of parasitized cells in the tissues of infected cattle are alpha/beta T cells.

Evolution and diversity of secretome genes in the apicomplexan parasite Theileria annulata [PDF]
, 2010 <b>BACKGROUND</b>: Little is known about how apicomplexan parasites have evolved to infect different host species and cell types. Theileria annulata and Theileria parva invade and transform bovine leukocytes but each species favours a ...
