"Theileria" is a genus of parasitic protozoa that belongs to the phylum Apicomplexa and is closely related to "Plasmodium".

Two "Theileria" species, "T. annulata" and "T. parva" are important cattle parasites.cite journal | author = Morrison, W., McKeever D. | year = 2006 | title = Current status of vaccine development against "Theileria" parasites | journal = Parasitology | volume = 133 | pages = S169–S187 | pmid = 17274845 | doi = 10.1017/S0031182006001867] "T. annulata" causes tropical theileriosis and "T. parva" causes East Coast fever. The genomes of "T. annulata" and "T. parva" have been sequenced and published.
