The same but different: the biology of Theileria sporozoite entry into bovine cells
TLDR
It is suggested that the initial sporozoite binding event triggers the mobilization of intrasporozoite Ca2+ and the activation of both kinase and G-protein associated signalling processes in the parasite, which regulate the invasive capacity of the sporozoites.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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theileria: Intracellular protozoan parasites of wild and domestic ruminants transmitted by ixodid ticks
TL;DR: Key parameters in T. parva population dynamics are the relative importance of asymptomatic carrier cattle and animals undergoing severe disease, in transmission of the parasite to ticks, and the extent of transmission by nymphs as compared to adult ticks.

Microneme Proteins in Apicomplexans
TL;DR: Structural and biochemical analyses of MIC domains is providing new perspectives on how adhesion is regulated and the potentially distinct roles MICs might play in long or short range interactions during parasite attachment and entry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of apoptosis by intracellular protozoan parasites
TL;DR: Two families of molecules, which are known for their capacity to interrupt the apoptotic program, are currently discussed in the literature and can directly interfere with molecules of the cellular death machinery.
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.

Toxoplasma Invasion of Mammalian Cells Is Powered by the Actin Cytoskeleton of the Parasite
TL;DR: It is concluded that host cell invasion by Toxoplasma, and likely by related Apicomplexans, is actively powered by an actin-based contractile system in the parasite.

Erythrocyte entry by malarial parasites. A moving junction between erythrocyte and parasite
TL;DR: Invasion of erythrocytes by merozoites of the monkey malaria, Plasmodium knowlesi, was investigated by electron microscopy and the movement of the junction during invasion is an important component of the mechanism by which themerozoite enters the ery Throcyte.
