Theileria parva: Sporozoite entry into bovine lymphocytes is not dependent on the parasite cytoskeleton
The main conclusion from the present study is that T. parva sporozoite entry is dependent on a functional host cell actin cytoskeleton and is not driven by the parasite. Treating lymphocytes with cytochalasin D resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in the levels of host cell infection. However, the...
