The entry of sporozoites of Theileria parva into bovine lymphocytes in vitro. Immunoelectron microscopic observations.
TLDR
In an electron microscopic investigation of the entry of sporozoites of Theileria parva into bovine lymphocytes, the fate of the surface coat of the parasite was traced by immunocytochemical methods, supporting the conclusion that the sporozoite surface coat, containing the antigen recognized by MAbD1, is shed as the sporzoite enters the host cell.About:

Cytoskeleton of Apicomplexan Parasites
TL;DR: The unusual properties of actin and myosin in the Apicomplexa, the highly stereotyped microtubule populations in apicOMplexans, and a network of recently discovered novel intermediate filament-like elements in these parasites are discussed.

The piroplasms: life cycle and sexual stages.
Heinz Mehlhorn,Eberhard Schein +1 more
TL;DR: Comparative biological and morphological studies show that the economically important piroplasms comprise three groups: (1) Babesia species sensu strictu ; (2) Bubesia equi , B. microti ; and (3) Theileria species.

A T. cruzi-secreted protein immunologically related to the complement component C9: evidence for membrane pore-forming activity at low pH.
TL;DR: It is postulate that TC-TOX, when secreted into the acidic environment of the phagosome, forms pores in the membrane, which contribute to its disruption, and is cytotoxic for nucleated cells at pH 5.5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and evolution of the piroplasms
TL;DR: The parsimony and maximum likelihood trees suggest that the babesias and theilerias are sister taxa, both of which were derived from the paraphyletic group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of Leukocytes by Theileria parva and T. annulata
TL;DR: The presence of the parasite in the host-cell cytoplasm modulates the state of activation of a number of signal transduction pathways, including nuclear factor-kappa B, which appear to be essential for the survival of Theileria-transformed T cells.
