Some implications of a sexual cycle in theileria by Irvin, A.D., Boarer, C.D.H.

“…Recent microscopic studies of Theilerial parasites in. ticks appear to provide convincing evidence for a sexual cycle for these parasites. This evidence would remove most of the objections to placing piroplasms in the same class as malarial and coccidial parasites. …”

Theileria: Intracellular protozoan parasites of wild and domestic ruminants transmitted by ixodid ticks by Bishop, Richard P., Musoke, A.J., Morzaria, S.P., Gardner, M., Nene, Vishvanath M.

“…Theileria undergoes an obligate sexual cycle, involving fusion of gametes in the tick gut, to produce a transiently diploid zygote. …”

High-resolution genotyping and mapping of recombination and gene conversion in the protozoan Theileria parva using whole genome sequencing by Henson, S., Bishop, Richard P., Morzaria, S.P., Spooner, P.R., Pelle, Roger, Poveda, L., Ebeling, M., Kung, E., Certa, U., Daubenberger, C.A., Weihong Qi

“…Like Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite undergoes a transient diploid life-cycle stage in the gut of the arthropod vector, which involves an obligate sexual cycle. As assessed using low-resolution VNTR markers, the crossover (CO) rate in T. parva is relatively high and has been reported to vary across different regions of the genome; non-crossovers (NCOs) and CO-associated gene conversions have not yet been characterised due to the lack of informative markers. …”
