Protozoan parasites which reside inside a host cell avoid direct destruction by the immune
system of the host. The infected cell, however, still has the capacity to counteract the …

Parasitic protozoa infecting humans have a staggering impact on public health, especially in
the developing world. Furthermore, several protozoan species are major pathogens of …

The epigenetics of host–pathogen interactions is emerging as an interesting angle from
which to study how parasites have evolved sophisticated strategies to manipulate host gene …

The apicomplexan parasites Theileria annulata and Theileria parva cause severe
lymphoproliferative disorders in cattle. Disease pathogenesis is linked to the ability of the …

The modulation of apoptosis has emerged as an important weapon in the pathogenic
arsenal of multiple intracellular protozoan parasites. Cryptosporidium parvum, Leishmania …

Theileria parasites infect and transform cells of the ruminant immune system. Continuous
proliferation and survival of Theileria-transformed cells involves the well-orchestrated …

Abstract The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) identifies ten infectious
agents (viruses, bacteria, parasites) able to induce cancer disease in humans. Among …

The intracellular stages of apicomplexan parasites are known to extensively modify their
host cells to ensure their own survival. Recently, considerable progress has been made in …

Bovine tropical theileriosis is a tick-borne disease, caused by Theileria annulata which is a
protozoan parasite that resides within the B-cells and macrophages. T. annulata is a unique …

The apicomplexan parasite Theileria annulata is transmitted by Hyalomma ticks and causes
an acute lymphoproliferative disease that is invariably lethal in exotic cattle breeds. The …
