''Theileria parva'' is a parasitic protozoan, named in honour of Arnold Theiler, that causes East Coast fever (theileriosis) in cattle, a costly disease in Africa. The main vector for ''T. parva'' is the tick ''Rhipicephalus appendiculatus''. Theiler found that East Coast fever was not the same as redwater, but caused by a different protozoan. == Genomics == ''Theileria parva'' has four chromosomes and a plastome. In 2005 the sequencing of its genome was announced. ''T. parva'' has genes that allow it to attach to white blood cell (leukocyte) membranes, enter the cells and take them over. It then activates the host cells' mitotic pathway, and multiplies along with the host cells. When the genome of ''Babesia bovis'', another protozoan parasite that infects red blood cells (erythrocytes) and causes Babesiosis (Redwater) in cattle, was sequenced in 2007 their genomes were found to be remarkably similar.
