Description

The genus Theileria comprises apicomplexan parasites that are tick-transmitted and infect ruminants with important trade and industry impact in endemic countries (1). Infectious agents build up elaborate machinery to work together by means of host cell pathways and takeover their genetic and epigenetic mechanisms to modify phenotypic status of host cells.
