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 …

Intracellular pathogens such as viruses and bacteria subvert all the major cellular functions
of their hosts. Targeted host processes include protein synthesis, membrane trafficking …

Parasites have evolved a plethora of mechanisms to ensure their propagation and evade
antagonistic host responses. The intracellular protozoan parasite Theileria is the only …

Infection with the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii renders cells resistant to multiple
pro-apoptotic signals, but underlying mechanisms have not been delineated. The …

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

The intracellular protozoan parasites Theileria parva and T. annulata transform the cells they
infect, inducing uncontrolled proliferation. This is not a trivial event as, in addition to …

Theileria annulata, an intracellular parasite of bovine lymphoid cells, induces substantial
phenotypic alterations to its host cell including continuous proliferation, cytoskeletal changes …

Intracellular infections by parasites require a functional anti-apoptotic mechanism for
parasite survival within the host cell. The intracellular cycle of Eimeria tenella and Eimeria …

The opportunistic protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is well known as a strong inducer
of cell‐mediated immunity, largely as a result of proinflammatory cytokine induction during in …

The intracellular protozoan parasites Theileria parva and Theileria annulata transform
leucocytes by interfering with host cell signal transduction pathways. They differ from tumour …
