Abstract The fine structure ofTheileria-lymphoblast relationship was studied using cultured bovine lymphoblastoid cells infected withTheileria parva, T. lawrencei, orT. annulata. The major findings of this study were: (a) the presence of a very active Golgi complex with the associated annulate lamellae; (b) the presence of cytoplasmic microtubules which joined the parasites and host cell centriole during lymphoblast mitosis; and (c) the absence of morphological evidence to suggest that the host cell developed a reaction to the parasitic presence. The significance of these findings is discussed.
