[[Theileria]] species first invade the local [[Lymph Nodes - Anatomy & Physiology|lymph nodes]] of the hosts before disseminating through the lymphoid tissues. Asexual reproduction in the host is followed by sexual reproduction within the [[Ticks | tick]] vector. The [parasite is then transmitted through the salivary glands of the tick into the mammalian host during bloodfeeding.

[[Theileria]] species first invade the local '''[[Lymph Nodes - Anatomy & Physiology|lymph nodes]]''' of the hosts before forming schizonts and disseminating through the '''lymphoid tissues'''.
