Theileriosis is a disease of mammals and birds caused by a [[protozoa | '''protozoal''']] pathogen which resides within the [[Lymphocytes - Introduction |lymphocytes]] and [[Macrophages|macrophages]].

Distribution of disease depends on the presence of [[Ticks|tick]] vectors and thus is primarily in '''tropical regions'''. Various species of tick are implicated.

'''Vaccines''' are available involving '''attenuated schizont-infected cells''' and are the mainstay of tropical theleriosis in endemic countries with highly susceptible cattle breeds.
