The invasion of Theileria sporozoites into bovine leukocytes is rapidly followed by the liberation of the parasite from the parasitophorpous vacuole membrane, allowing the parasite to establish its niche within the host cell cytoplasm. Theileria infection induces host cell transformation, characteri...
In the present experiments, we used in vitro cultured bovine lymphocytes infected with T. annulata to purify the cycloartilaginous stage shizonts of T. annulata and the cycloartilaginous stage merozoites of T. annulata after using T. annulata-infected erythrocytes from live cows (with 30% staining r...
