Abstract
Theileria are tick-transmitted, obligate intracellular parasites that are important pathogens of livestock in the Old World tropical and subtropical regions. Like all intracellular organisms, host cell invasion is a critical aspect of Theileria biology and the various invasive stages (the sporozoite and merozoite in the mammalian host, the zygote and kinete in the tick vector) are highly adapted to invade and survive in their specific host cells in both the vertebrate and tick hosts.
