Bovine immunity - a driver for diversity in Theileria parasites?

Trends in parasitology - 1 Jun 2009

McKeever Declan J

Abstract excerpt

Theileria parva and Theileria annulata are tick-borne parasites of cattle that infect and transform leukocytes, causing severe and often fatal parasitic leukoses. Both species provoke strong immunity against subsequent infection. However, considerable diversity is observed in field populations of each parasite and protection is only assured against homologous challenge. The life cycles of these parasites are...
